September was Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and we have just celebrated Black History Month in October.

The DPA, Women of Colour in Policing (WoCiP) in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Police, and Dr Ceclia Ayisi-Shoetan, founder of Lorraine’s Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Foundation, have come together to talk about the tragic loss of Dr Ayisi-Shoetan’s eldest daughter Lorraine to sickle cell complications.

Thank you to our President, Andrea Shoetan for hosting, Samantha Alexander, Deputy Lead for WoCiPBCH for interviewing, and Dr Ayisi-Shoetan for sharing her story. ∎
