Excel Praiseworth is Using Music to Raise Awareness & Empower Sickle Cell Warriors

“When you are rolling in agony, yeah, they call it a crisis. But your bones are on fire, and you can’t even describe it. They say, ‘We will try to control the fever; oh, I think you’re dehydrated; we’ll check your breathing; you need some oxygen’, but I just want the pain to go away.”

These are some of the lyrics in Excel Praiseworth‘s ‘Sickle Song‘, streamed almost 7,000 times on Spotify alone.
