Sickle cell warriors and loved ones encourage blood donations so they can live their best lives. Graphics with voice-over narration make the connections and explain why African Americans in particular are asked to consider giving blood.
Ashley Singleton donates blood, narrating how easy it is and making a plug for people of color to give so those with sickle cell and thalassemia have their best match. OK to crop out intro/outro segments.
Collection of videos separated by short, silent Q&A segments. Videos focus on sickle cell, thalassemia, or both, and why blood donor diversity is especially important. Can be played on a loop during blood drives or at other events.
