You’re Still A Man

Always remember that a man with or without sickle cell is still very much so a man. Traditional, societal gender views and roles have a way of making men feel as if they’re only a function of their actions or abilities. That simply isn’t true. So if you’re or you know a black man who has sickle cell anemia, be reminded that a man’s identity is not rooted in his “doings,” but rather his empathy, integrity, and other characteristics that make any human worth knowing.
