Kemi Tijani was born with sickle cell disease, but she’s so much more than a diagnosis on paper. She’s a mom to three wonderful children and a wife to the love of her life. Due to her illness, she’s working to educate the public about sickle cell disease, its impact on patients, and she hopes to encourage other warriors to live their lives without limits. She’s an advocate for eating healthy, early childhood nutrition, and generally making the world a healthier, happier place.

Kemi works in Early Childhood Care and education, and she’s devoted to all children, especially those with special needs. Her life journey makes her uniquely suited to reach kids who need her most. Her books are designed to help adults and children alike live better, healthier, more knowledgeable lives. Nothing can hold her back—she’s proved that and will continue to prove it every single day.
