Imagine having a twin sister who has the perfect antidote to cure your life-threatening disease. For twins Abi and Vivi, this is the story of that very journey! In this episode of SILENT Podcast, Ijeoma and Christina speak to Lady Laide, sickle cell advocate and mother to twins Abigail (Abi) and Valerie (Vivi).  Lady Laide shares the journey of her daughter Abi, who has recently received a stem cell transplant to cure her sickle cell disease. She shares her own courageous journey of faith and favor. Most importantly, she shares information for an upcoming blood and stem cell drive. 

If you are in the DMV (DC, Maryland, or Virginia) area, please consider participating in the upcoming blood and stem cell drive on Saturday, March 6, 2021 at Restoration Center, 119 Centerway, Greenbelt, MD 20770 from 10:00am - 3:00 pm by visiting https://bit.ly/3aKtwEa. Walk-ins are available for the stem cell registry. If you are out of state, you can still participate by joining the stem cell registry at https://join.bethematch.org/abivivi.

Through Lady Laide, listeners can learn how someone's pain can become their passion and ultimately their purpose. You can follow Lady Laide at @ladylaide on Instagram. You can watch this episode on Youtube at https://youtu.be/Kcd0bNGYTPk.
