Episode Synopsis

We are still celebrating Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and in this BONUS episode of Silent Podcast, Ijeoma and Christina connect with Maya Bloomberg, a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She specializes in hematology and is passionate about the sickle cell patients she treats. The trio discusses advocacy, patient rights and care, and how racial disparities play a role in this life-altering disease. Not only is this episode super inspiring, it's a wealth of information for sickle cell patients and advocates alike. In our opinion, there is no better way to end sickle cell awareness month than with this episode of Silent Podcast. You can connect with Maya Bloomberg on Instagram at @thehemenp.  
Silent Podcast is sponsored by The Ruby Ball Foundation where our goal is to create a voice in the silence by promoting awareness while empowering and improving the quality of life for individuals living with sickle cell disease around the world! For more information, visit www.therubyball.org.
