April - Sister Keli
Angele K Blackshear-Brown, better known as Sister Keli, was diagnosed with diabetes as a teenager. She learned how to manage the disease and lived a pretty normal life.
Sister Keli graduated from Colerain High School and went to college in Columbus, Ohio. After college she took a job in education as an academic director in Cincinnati.
At the age of 36, she received a call from her doctor after a routine exam and bloodwork. The doctor told her to go immediately to the hospital for treatment as her kidney was failing. Sister Keli didn’t take it very seriously and finished her work day, went home, cooked dinner and eventually went to the hospital. Read Sister Keli's story here.
