ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
We often see that there are societal pressures for men to appear to be "strong." What are the ways that the need to be strong can be either helpful or harmful to us? And is this just a dilemma that men face? Christina and Ijeoma explore some of these questions with their guest, Obinna, who is also Ijeoma's twin brother! Obinna, who also has sickle cell disease, shares some of his toughest moments, how they have affected him and his family, and how he has persisted through each of them. Obinna, Ijeoma, and Christina celebrate a special day while starting one of the conversations that has been long overdue for the family.
You can connect with Obinna on Instagram at @_beans83.
Silent Podcast is sponsored by The Ruby Ball Foundation where our goal is to create a voice in the silence by promoting awareness while empowering and improving the quality of life for individuals living with sickle cell disease around the world! For more information, visit www.therubyball.org.
