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.

As a mother with two young children who have sickle cell disease, La'Shardae Scott works tirelessly to advocate for them and others who struggle with this life-threatening illness. And she knows the importance of a diverse blood supply to help treat them. That's why she & her organization, the S.C.O.T.T. Center, are hosting a blood drive this Saturday in Toledo to encourage more Black donors to give.
