Today the #SickleCell community lost one of it's most powerful warriors, @jewel_the_model_ , co-founder of the ORIGINAL new millenium movement for sickle cell disease, #BoldLipsforSickleCell which she would later re-launch as # @bold_plus_ ! While we are all DEEPLY saddened by her passing, we celebrate with gratitude all that she became and the many obstacles that were overcome as she #advocated for our community with a bold passion like no other, speaking truth to power and being unashamed to be exactly who she was... JEWEL DARBONE! May you rest easy now with no more pain!! Our thoughts and prayers remain with her family, friends, and the ENTIRE Sickle community.🙏🏾😥 Signed, Forever Your Mama Bears https://www.instagram.com/p/CIuEWS5DEX3/?igshid=16ck60oa0q8vt
