Ken West Dispels Sickle Cell Myths On The Day With Trae

Last week, Trae was joined by Ken West from the Metropolitan Seattle Sickle Cell Task Force on #TheDayWithTrae. He shared his story as a speaker, mentor and advocate of sickle cell.

"There isn't a whole lot of knowledge in certain areas about Sickle Cell," West said. "As a result of that, you really need to learn a lot about Sickle Cell yourself. There's a lot of misinformation out there."

One piece of misinformation West said is commonly spread is that those with Sickle Cell are more likely to struggle with addiction.

"That is a fallacy," West said.

He shared information, resources, and more during his conversation with Trae. You can find the full interview at the link in our bio.

Make sure to tune into The Day With Trae every weekday from 11 - 11:30 am on all Converge Media platforms.
