BLOSSOMING
2025
This World Sickle Cell Day, June, 19th, I will be releasing an animated film (The Life and Death of a Blossoming Rose) created by a talented young artist who is also my beloved niece, Michelle Okochi and narrated my sister, Ijeoma Okochi-Agwu. It’s based on a poem I wrote a few years ago.
The film and poem shines the light on the silent struggle of children, teens and adults living with sickle cell disorder.
BLESSING
2025
This year, I’m celebrating my birthday a little differently - walking with purpose and raising money for a cause deeply personal to me.
I’m gathering friends for a mindful, beautiful and first ever hike approx 12 km (8 miles) in Box Hill on 31st May to raise funds for Fit to Achieve. West Africa through creativity, education, and access to better care. Sickle Cell affects thousands of families and has a more severe impact on families in West Africa who lack in community, care and access to relevant resources.
