Good morning and welcome to Front Page Jacksonville.

I'm Wanda P.

And as always, I'm so appreciative of your time.

I know 6 a.m. is early.

And thank you all so much that listen to the show at 6 to 8 every Sunday.

We appreciate you.

And today I have a great guest joining me, Dr. Selena Bass Webster, a sickle cell advocate.

She does lots of things.

And she's no stranger to this show.

But today we're going to talk about sickle cell because September is sickle cell awareness month.

And she and her organization are finishing out the month with several activities and events.

But Dr. Selena, first of all, good morning.

And thank you so much for being here.

Well,

Graham Rising, and thank you so much, Wanda P., for joining.

inviting me to be on your show.

It is a

pleasure.

Absolutely.

Always my pleasure as well.

Now you kicked off, you and your organization kicked off Sickle Cell Awareness Month with an event that you had, like I said, it was earlier this month where you did like a book signing event.

um, a sickle cell book signing.

And I know, you know, we're past that, but I still want you to talk about, um, the book signing and particular the book, um, that you did, uh, in memory of your son.

Yes.

So the name of our organization is the Richard Webster Bass Health Institute.
