## Resource

Crystal sits down with Ericka Lassiter, whose family’s journey through sickle cell disease—culminating in Kwincy’s cure after a bone marrow transplant—became a calling to serve. Ericka opens up about the hospital seasons, the Crystal Clear Moments that shifted her from caregiver to advocate, and how faith and the love of family carried her through grief and into legacy: honoring Kwamie Lassiter’s memory through the work of the Kwamie Lassiter Foundation. This conversation is a love letter to resilience—and a blueprint for how all of us can help. Take Action (Today) · Give blood (closest drive): American Red Cross — Find a Drive (American Red Cross Blood Services) · Join the marrow registry: NMDP (formerly Be The Match) — Join (NMDP) · Support local services: Sickle Cell Foundation of Arizona — Donate (Sickle Cell Foundation of Arizona) · Honor Kwamie’s legacy: The Kwamie Lassiter Foundation — Donate (see “Donate”) (Kwami Lassiter Foundation) A Note from Crystal “Community is medicine. If you’re able, roll up a sleeve, swab to join the registry, or give in honor to every family walking this road. Your action today becomes somebody’s tomorrow.” Disclaimer: This episode shares personal experiences and is not medical advice. Talk to your clinician for care decisions.
