WHO WE ARE
Sickle cell warriors are powerful people with an indomitable spirit. We are often in a constant fight on a daily basis to keep our head above water, deal with the pain, make the right decisions in life, deal with finances, medical bills and handle the backlash, negative vibes and criticism that having sickle cell brings. At Sickle Cell Warriors, we are a team, community, and family. We are forever linked and joined through the coded sequence of our DNA. We are here to support you, to lift you up when you are down, to give you advice, to laugh with you, cry with you, hug you, love you, and pray for you. We are here for you 24/7, in the highest of highs, and lowest of lows. We are 9,600 strong (and growing everyday) from all corners of the world, in every situation. The group is comprised of parents, children, teens, husbands, artists, healthcare workers, researchers, wives, professionals, advocates, activists, and students. We have members from every tropical region, several Islamic countries, South American, Europe, Africa countries, Indian and Asian populations. You will find someone to connect with—I guarantee it. So reach out and be part of this family. This is a ‘judgment and criticism free zone’. You can truly let your guards down and be 100% authentic. Drop us a line, even if it’s 2 AM, there is always someone here, probably another night owl just like you ;). Please read the community guidelines HERE.
WHAT WE DO
Sickle Cell Warriors, Inc. is dedicated to providing resources, information, education, research, and support to the sickle cell community. Our mission statement can be summarized into four main pillars.
Diet, nutrition, & natural healing
Herbalista:
Lorna Mauney-Brodek is a traveling herbalist, medicine maker, wildcrafter and teacher. Much of her herbwork supports organizations dedicated to promoting diversity, environmental responsibility, and social justice. Growing up “americana,” her health practices reflect the abundantly diverse influences of these lands to blend western medical herbalism, traditional Chinese five phase, Ayurveda, and southern folk. Early barefoot adventures in the Appalachian foothills and global wanderings with tent-packing parents led to more formal trainings in plant medicine. She completed an herbal residency with Michael Moore at the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine and her clinical internship at the Blue Ridge School for Herbal Studies.
She offers a sliding scale herbal clinic in East Atlanta and leads the Harriet Tubman Free Foot Clinic, and The Herbalista Free Clinic (also known as the Herb Bus.) Lorna teaches at various venues around the southeast, including BotanoLogos, the Blue Ridge School, the Homestead Atlanta, and The Herb Kitchen.
At Wholesome Wave Georgia, we believe all Georgians should have access to good, wholesome and locally-grown food.
We work towards our mission of increasing access to good food while contributing to the local food economy through the following programs:
We currently partner with 37 different producer-only farmer’s markets in Atlanta and across the state of Georgia. By doubling each Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, aka Food Stamp) dollar spent, we leverage existing government food nutrition programs to encourage shopping at local farmers markets. Every nutrition benefit dollar spent at a WWG partner market becomes two dollars for the shopper and for the farmer. This means more money for farmers and that more Georgians gain access to good, wholesome and locally-grown food.
In partnership with the Department of Family and Children Services, WWG has become a SNAP Outreach Partner.
The process of receiving food assistance can be a barrier to many of the families and individuals that need the help. Through conducting enrollment sessions at partner farmers markets we are able to help more people successfully complete the process and get the support they need.
We partner with local organizations in other areas related to food insecurity such as health and poverty.
