If Your Black Child Plays Football, This Hidden Trait Could Kill Him
Episode description
https://www.SuccessfulBlackParenting.com -- You and your children could have this trait and not even know you have it and you can easily find out by just asking your obstetrician. This trait has killed at least 11 football players since 2000 during practice and it is called Sickle Cell Trait. The sad thing is the now-deceased players did not have Sickle Cell Anemia, they didn't know they had the trait (like most of us), and they dropped dead during practice.
On our BackTalk live stream/podcast, Janice Robinson-Celeste, publisher of Successful Black Parenting magazine and CEO of Successful Parenting Media spoke to Dr. Corey Hebert who is a pediatrician, affiliated with Children’s Hospital in New Orleans. He is carrying the banner for educating the Black family about this disease and imploring them to find out if they have the trait. This can save lives.
