June is Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and I thought, "What better time to dedicate my June episodes to sharing stories that spread awareness and encouragement to people in my community?"

This month, I'm honoured to bring you a special 2-part series featuring my friend Vernon, who bravely shares his personal journey living with sickle cell. In these heartfelt conversations, Vernon opens up about the daily challenges, resilience, and hope that define his life with this condition. Whether you're living with sickle cell, know someone who is, treat patients with it or simply want to learn more, this series is a powerful reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and storytelling for awareness.
