In this powerful and moving conversation, we sit down with the ever-so-joyful Simply Sayo to discuss her personal experience living with sickle cell and how she has used her sister’s story to raise awareness and spread joy. We talk about the realities of navigating chronic illness, the power of storytelling, and what true advocacy looks like within the Black community. This episode is a reminder of how strength, softness, and sisterhood can coexist—even in the face of pain.
