Finally I can introduce
#TSS
properly...
#TSS
or The Sound Of Sickle Cell is a small initiative set up with the aim of addressing 3 key areas with Sickle Cell...
Chris has sickle cell disease, a health condition that predominately affects people from African and Caribbean backgrounds.
It is commonly considered a ‘silent illness’, so Chris started his own initiative to get people talking about it.
It's funny because I'm not really offended by this however I do think it's a strange one that sparks a very good debate about inclusive marketing.
Does it need to be pulled out as black hair care or should it just be labelled at haircare to avoid creating a divide.
Please to anyone with Sickle cell, the weather has suddenly taken a turn and it has become extremely cold. Keep warm, it's better to be over insulted than not.
Remember to continue taking your penicillin and folic acid to keep your immune firing on all cylinders.
God bless.
It's actually mad how aggressive female wingmen are.
Just be saying stuff like "you need to ask for her number still" "you're not doing your job my guy"
Pls sis I'm not here for it.
If Ovie wasn’t handsome (and under 6ft), you lot would be cringed by his personality and most likely friendzone him. Him crying yesterday over George would have been ‘LOOOOOOOOL’ in group chats😴

Hi Guys, I've got this idea for those who have sickle cell. If you're from London/England and have sickle cell please DM me!
Can you also help me RT this I want as many sicklers involved in this as possible. 😊
People think this is a joke if the NHS get privatised were actually done for.
On average I have:
A new prescription every 2 months
A gp appointment every 3 months
A general check up every 6 months
Minimum of 1 hosp admission per year, with a stay of up to 1 week.

Tbh I feel no way about the labelling I just think from a marketing position it's an interesting stance to choose. Especially when everyone is always looking for a reason to cry outrage
This year I will also work with the NHS to host an event at "black twitter" with the aim of increasing black blood donors.
June 19th please keep the date free.
Cheers,
Prime.
Sounds like everyone wants us to do a sickle cell party...
Like a traffic light party...
Red cup if you have sickle cell
Yellow if you have trait
Blue if you have no clue

I'm the founder of a charitable intative called The Sound of Sickle

.
The team and I run events aimed at educating people about Sickle Cell and increasing the amount of black blood donors.
My girl is fucking amazing. She come to see me at the hospital every single day I've been here.
Bought me food and water everyday and has even spent the nights on some. Right now, I am nothing without her.
Let's keep it real chief, KSI has a history allowing derogatory terms and statements aimed at black people to continue.
Some of his original videos even uplifted those general racist tropes. I ain't tryna listen to anything he has to say about race.
"I, like every black person on this Earth, is exhausted really... What we really need right now is everyone to stand with us"
In the wake of George Floyd's death, YouTuber KSI calls for people to "be vocal in your support"

I'm proud to announce my first Sickle Cell awareness event.
Know Your Type: Pricks Don't Lie!
A night of information, fun and candid conversation all centred around Sickle Cell!
Date: 21st of August
Location: Peckham Levels
This technique is called Kettling, I've experienced it during the student protests and it's honestly one of the worst things ever.
They won't let you pass even if you have a medical condition, we were forced to piss in bottles and we're starved for well over 6 hours.
THE POLICE BOXED IN A GROUP OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS AND THEN STARTED HITTING AND MACING PEOPLE. A MAN TOOK SOME OF US INTO HIS HOUSE AND THE POLICE HAVE US TRAPPED. THERE ARE PEOPLE STILL TRAPPED IN THE STREET ON 15th AND SWANN

Bro he's reached a level above the normal man. Are you seeing the women of the TL now? "A man with emotions" "a black man that isnt afraid to cry". He's won the long game.
