POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A little reminder for those of us who are service providers, we’re not just in the business of beauty. We’re in the business of people. 💞

As someone who lives with sickle cell and runs a service-based business, I understand both sides.

Your time, income and boundaries matter, but so do compassion, understanding and grace.
You can protect your business without losing your humanity.

Income matters. But so does impact.

A question worth reflecting on: Are you simply providing a service, or are you genuinely serving people?

Some stories remind us of the strength it takes to keep going, even on the hardest days.

This October, BFH X ACLT are coming together to raise awareness of the urgent need for more Black blood donors and the life-changing difference this can make for people living with Sickle Cell.

We had such an emotional and heartfelt interview with the beautiful @oreliagrace @sistersinbeautyy , who opened up about her experience of living with Sickle Cell, the challenges of managing her condition while running a business, and the importance of maintaining her faith through it all.

Her honesty, vulnerability and strength are a powerful reminder of the realities so many people living with Sickle Cell face, and why access to blood from Black donors is so important for our community.

Ara was told that she needed a transfusion but she just wanted her body to cooperate. She was tired of needing help to survive.

But those bags of blood came from someone who chose to give.

And Ara is here because someone gave.

Behind every blood donation is a person, a story, a life that could be changed.

**If you’re eligible to donate blood, consider giving. You could be someone’s reason to see another She didn’t want the blood transfusions that saved her life.

“I found out I had sickle cell at 18.
And overnight, it felt like my independence was taken from me.”

Unlike anyone else I’ve met, Ara didn’t grow up knowing she had sickle cell. She found out later in life, at 18 years old.
And just like that, her life changed.

Receiving a diagnosis at a time when you’re stepping into adulthood and discovering your independence brought a whole new set of challenges, questions and adjustments.

For Sickle Cell Awareness Month, I knew I wanted to share Ara’s story.

Because there is no one story when it comes to sickle cell.

Every journey looks different. Every diagnosis carries a different weight. And every warrior has a story that deserves to be heard.

This is Ara’s story. 💗

So that really happened… the first ever screening of HUGS, a passion project. 💛

There have been plenty of moments where I would hide away, where fear and doubt felt loud. But every time I choose to share even a little, God reminds me that there is something so much greater on the other side of vulnerability.

When I first created this, there was no intention of it ever making it to the big screen. And yet, here we are.

Thank you @ourppls.art @akanji.studio for having me speak with @dionnereid on the creation of the HUGS campaign, resilience, and life with a chronic illness, and for creating such a beautiful space for these conversations to breathe. I’m so grateful to be in a room where people don’t just listen, but are genuinely moved to encourage and inspire one another.

As much as I was able to share, I left carrying so much more than I came with. That’s the beauty of community. 🤍
