On this episode of the Good Story Podcast, your host, Eric Skwarczynski is joined by Rasheena Phinisee.
Rasheena is a force when it comes to organ donation. Her motivation is personal: Her daughter Assiah went into liver failure as an infant.
It wasn't long before Phinisee realized she is not alone. Many families dealing with pediatric transplantation suffer similar traumas when they are forced to abandon their lives to fight for their child's health.
As a result, Phinisee founded Assiah's Liver Fund (https://www.assiahsliverfund.org/) to raises awareness about organ donation and transplantation, as well as to train parents on how to advocate for their chronically ill child.
She has traveled the country speaking at medical conferences and other huge events, including the Essence Festival. Rasheena has also published The Breakfast Club (https://youtu.be/YjjgJPco-Cw) .
