Jenica Leah’s Story Living With Sickle Cell and Her Book, My Friend Jen Series.

“There were times when I would know that there were certain things I could not do, but I didn't really know why a lot of my complications from sickle cell didn't really come until I was a little bit older. After surviving a stroke at the age of 13, and then I had to stop having blood transfusions, that was the start of my journey living with an invisible illness, needing a hip replacement at the age of 25 and experiencing a number of other complications caused by sickle cell, I was motivated to make a change for the next generation."
