Sickle Cell Advocate of the Year: La’Shardae Scott
La’Shardae Scott, a mother of three amazing boys. As a mother of two children living and thriving with sickle cell disease, I knew advocacy was needed in my community. When my first child was diagnosed with sickle cell in 2015, I reached out to local Ohio organizations to seek information. Unfortunately, there was a lack of education and resources available. As a Detroit native, I reached out to the local sickle cell clinic and worked with a doctor who educated me on the disease. At that moment, I became a passionate advocate for those affected by sickle cell disease.CEO/President of SCOTT, which stands for: Scott Center for Observation Treatment & Transition; a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting sickle cell awareness, education and research.
