SCDAA Spokesperson: Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins

An Open Letter to my Friends, Colleagues and Supporters in the Entertainment Industry.

I have learned to smile when I wasn't happy, to sing when I didn't feel like it, and to do things just to please my fans.

My attitude was, "Okay, you're just going to have to face what you've got. Suck it up and try to make the best of it."

Recently I've learned there was a larger stage than I could ever imagine. A stage that would enable me to take my message to those who needed it the most. People like me. People with Sickle Cell Disease.
