Women’s Health Perspectives and Support

June 19 is World Sickle Cell Day, and if you haven’t heard much about it, you’re not alone. Despite affecting millions—especially in the Black community—Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) remains wildly under-discussed.

For women living with SCD, everyday life requires strength most people can’t see. Chronic pain, fatigue, and complications during pregnancy are just some of the challenges. And yet, so many women push through it all without support.

But your health deserves more than hustle.

SCD affects your blood, which affects oxygen flow—meaning energy levels can tank fast. Pair that with hormone shifts during your cycle or perimenopause, and you’ve got a complex situation that deserves care, not judgment.

That’s where cycle tracking becomes powerful. The Agenda. App allows you to track your symptoms, note flare-ups, and identify patterns that your doctor may overlook. With more information, you can advocate for better care and make lifestyle choices that align with your needs.

This is about reclaiming power—over your body, your voice, and your journey.

If you or a loved one lives with Sickle Cell, know you’re not alone. Download The Agenda. App and start tracking what your body’s been trying to tell you. Knowledge is power and you deserve all of it.
