Steve Harvey Morning Show Co-Host Kier "Junior" Spates, a Sickle Cell Warrior, Hosts the New Inspiring Podcast, "Living Your Life"
ATLANTA, April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Each week on the Living Your Life podcast, join Sickle Cell Warrior Kier "Junior" Spates from the Steve Harvey Morning Show and his board-certified co-host, Dr. Corey Hebert, the Chief Medical Officer at Dillard University as they meet incredible people who refuse to let a life-threatening illness hold them back from success. They will also be talking with today's top medical, community, and entertainment influencers! The series, Living Your Life, brings attention to families and individuals thriving despite sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait. The podcast premiers Tuesday, April 18th and can be found on YouTube and at https://livingyourlife.online. Each episode will provide positive lifestyle stories and information about sickle cell, including health care, travel, and food. Kier's guests will be in his studio as well as joining virtually from around the world to discuss various symptoms, severity, and treatments. Living Your Life focuses on increasing awareness for sickle cell disease and improving patient outcome. Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder affecting red blood cells. This inherited condition causes the cells to have a "c" shape instead of the typical round appearance causing the cells to get stuck and die early, resulting in a constant shortage in the body as well as painful crises.
After attending Prairie View A&M, Kier Spates soared from comedian, actor to high profile Hollywood writer. He has written on such shows as Steve Harvey Talk Show, Little Big Shots, Steve Harvey's New Year's Eve, Miss Universe and was nominated for a Daytime EmmyⓇ for his Outstanding Writing Skills. He founded Kier's Hope Foundation Inc. to not only inspire and educate families affected by sickle cell disease but provide education, programs, services, and funding resources.
