🎙️ New season, new stories — Episode 1 of the 7-2-1 Season 2 podcast is here! 🎧

We’ve once again teamed up with FWGBD to produce these podcasts to go deeper into topics on how blood disorders impact people who menstruate, and share stories that deserve time and space. Each episode highlights critical perspectives, provides education for patients and providers alike.

The latest episode (link in stories!) features Dr. Leslie Appiah with hosts Dr. Kemi Olaiya and Dr. Cheryl Mensah discussing fertility preservation for people with sickle cell disease—arriving just in time for Sickle Cell Awareness Month.
