We @dopeblackmums launched our official partnership with @GiveBloodNHS earlier this year.

World Sickle Cell (SC) Day. SC mainly effects the Black community. Patients require regular blood donations, yet less than 5% of blood donations are from the Black community

We've got to do better guys...honestly.

We need to educate ourselves better and also give blood regularly.

We're so quick to spread gossip and nonsense, but not quick to raise awareness of an illness that MAINLY AFFECTS THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

We need to donate blood, especially if we are black...this thread explains perfectly why... https://twitter.com/GiveBloodNHS/status/927828876490928128?s=19
