About Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder, characterized primarily by chronic anemia and periodic pain episodes.
It affects millions of people throughout the world, particularly those with ancestry from: Africa, South or Central America (especially Panama), the Caribbean islands, Mediterranean countries (such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy), India and Saudi Arabia. Despite the massive numbers of individuals afflicted by SCD, it still holds the misnomer of the “forgotten disease”.
About Ediomi Utuk
As an individual living with SCD, Ediomi has faced various challenges over the years. Nevertheless, she overcomes them day-by-day – demonstrating that a fulfilled life can be lived in the face of all odds. As a world-traveled model, photographer, marketing consultant and seasoned producer of dope fashion and art events, she is affectionately known as a “jack of all trades, master of all”! She has garnered a deep appreciation for educating and empowering those uniformed about SCD through innovative forums illustrating the beauty of life and the art of living undefeated with SCD.
