In her interview, Betty shared that one of the ways she has educated Jessica about her condition is through a book she requested from her local library - My Friend Jen.
My Friend Jen, by Jenica Leah is a children's book whose main character, 'Jen', is a sickle cell survivor, just like Jenica. By describing Jen's day to day activities, Jenica hopes to empower other children with the condition, whilst normalising it and educating their friends and family about the condition.
We catch up with Jenica to find out more about My Friend Jen.
