June 19th is #Juneteenth and #WorldSickleCellDay. As we celebrate the legacy of resistance and liberation, we step into our moment to take the mantle against ongoing oppression ✊🏾
Racial and sexual liberation are interconnected.
People with #sicklecelldisease benefit from less funding, staffing and GP support than patients with other comparable conditions, according to a report produced by researchers at Imperial College London to mark #WorldSickleCellDay

Much of what we know about the control of gene expression during blood cell development stems from Stuart Orkin’s groundbreaking work. His discoveries paved the way for treatments that could transform sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia, affecting over 5 million people. #WorldSickleCellDay
Freedom. Resilience. Awareness.
Today we honor Juneteenth and World Sickle Cell Day — a reminder of the strength in our stories and the fight for equity in every breath.
