It features a conversation with Ufuoma, an alumna of the 1834 Fellowship and founder of the Sickle Cell support organization, NotJustYou. Ufuoma discusses the impactful work her organization does and how her involvement with the 1834 Fellowship opened doors for her to advocate for the sickle cell community. This advocacy includes a meeting with Canada's Prime Minister and participation at the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent in Geneva, Switzerland.
