Tahir ‘StayFresh’ Ali discusses Sickle Cell Awareness Month

How do you want to use your voice to bring awareness to this condition?

Being in the industry, I wanted to bring awareness to sickle cell. I’ve spent over $1 million to stay alive. With all the connections I have in the industry, I can’t buy my way out of a hospital bed. We have to remain grateful. I teamed up with people at Be The Match to see if I can find a match and get more Blacks on the bone marrow registry. It’s important to reach out to those vulnerable communities.


I started a Gofundme because the medical procedure is expensive. Most people don’t realize how legislation can have an effect on medical practices, so it’s important to vote. I would like everyone to text STAYFRESH to 61474. It takes two minutes to fill it out. You swab your jaw, and you can save a life if you are a match.
