SICKLE CELL

There may be no population of patients whose health care and outcomes are more affected by racism than those with sickle cell disease (SCD). Patients with SCD are too often marginalized and dismissed while seeking medical care when their bodies hurt and they cannot breathe. As a Sickle Cell Warrior and Advocate, Dr. Mays works within the community thru public speaking, research, and advocacy to encourage  denouncing racial injustice and durable improvements for patients with SCD.

​

SCD is a life-threatening, inherited blood disorder, affecting more than 100,000 Americans. Painful vaso-occlusive crises, the hallmark of SCD, result in substantial suffering and lead to associated stigma. Without adequate treatment, SCD affects all organs and is associated with decreased quality of life and a shortened life span. Among the dozens of conditions that are screened for in state newborn-screening programs, SCD is the most commonly detected condition

Motivational speakers are the single largest impact for productive performance. Research shows that clients who bring in motivational speakers for their events, see a correlated boost in  engagement and morale. Motivational speakers like Dr. Mays who brings her education, experience, and life challenges to every engagement knows that motivation comes in many forms and goes by many names. She has overcome adversity, beat the odds, achieved her goals and knows how to inspire, and inspire others to reach new heights.
