I’ll be LOVING Mondays as I begin my new radio show on local Birmingham radio station Newstyle Radio.
Above everything I am so thankful to now have a platform where we can reach more people in the local community so we can increase awareness and knowledge about sickle cell.

Living her life with sickle cell anaemia Jenica Leah has battled with the many complications that come with the disorder; but she has never let this stop her from achieving greatness.
