THANK YOU
This event was made possible by each of you. A huge thank you to all the staff who worked tirelessly to assist in making the event a success, and to all the guests who showed up in support. Your presence meant everything.
These Cels Ain't Loyal Pt 4, organized by Tray Lover, owner of Love & Fashion Entertainment, took place on September 28th, 2024, in Brooklyn, New York, and the event was nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere was electric, and the message of the night echoed loud and clear: Sickle Cell Awareness.
The event brought together a diverse crowd—some already knowledgeable about sickle cell disease, and others eager to learn. Guests mingled, danced, and exchanged information, educating each other about the realities of living with sickle cell. The highlight of the night was hearing from the organizer himself, Tray Lover, who shared his personal story of why he continues to fight for sickle cell awareness, even while enduring his own physical pain. Tray's message was clear: "Sickle cell can’t stop me because this fight doesn’t stop." His resilience and determination to bring awareness to this disease were felt by everyone in the room.
Tray’s commitment to this cause is more than just words. His actions are making a direct impact on those living with sickle cell disease. One of the most touching moments of the night came when Breanna Omosebi, the recipient of the 2024 Love & Fashion Scholarship, spoke. Breanna, who lives with sickle cell herself, is a freshman who wants to pursue nursing and our third scholarship recipient. She shared how the scholarship is helping her through her studies, and how she plans to give back to the community as a pediatrician. She emphasized the ripple effect of Tray’s donations, showing how they empower others to continue the fight in their own ways. Each year, Love & Fashion aims to select three individuals living with sickle cell disease to support their academic journey, furthering their opportunities and futures.
But the night wasn’t just about education and awareness. It was also about action. We called on everyone to donate blood. Stephanie Dormsey, Senior Director at the New York Blood Center, delivered a powerful speech underscoring the direct need for blood donations, especially in swarthy communities, where shortages are most severe. Blood donations are critical—not just for those with sickle cell disease, but for anyone who may find themselves in need of a life-saving transfusion. One person’s donation can save up to three lives with just a single pint of blood. It’s an easy way to make a significant impact.
Capri from Pfizer also took the stage to highlight Pfizer’s partnership with companies like Love & Fashion Entertainment, working together to pave a better future for people living with sickle cell disease. Capri shared Pfizer’s commitment to advancing treatment options, raising awareness, and supporting community-based initiatives. Companies like Pfizer play an essential role in helping organizations like Love & Fashion thrive, as they work in tandem to foster positive change and improve the quality of life for those affected by this debilitating condition. The collaboration between large organizations and grassroots movements is crucial for creating sustainable impact.
So, I ask you: Are you ready to make a difference? Let’s step up, visit our local blood donation centers, and give the gift of life. Together, we can change lives—starting with one pint at a time.
Special thanks to our incredible sponsors who made this event possible: Pfizer, the New York Blood Center, and The Ryan Show.
And shout out to our collaborators, especially Candice’s Sickle Cell Fund, for their continued support and dedication to the cause.
