About

We are excited to celebrate UK based Cameroonian Nora E E Molongwe popularly known as Nora Brown on all social media platforms. She’s a graduate in Computer Sciences and Information Systems from the Atlantic International University USA. Nora is Media Personality, Philanthropist, Rapper & mum of 4 adorable children. Nora works from home as she needs to juggle work and kids. It’s no doubt that sometimes Nora’s health can take a toll on her but she keeps striving.

Nora is very active and continues to show love towards the sickle cell community, and the term ‘Sickle Cell Goddess’ is now widely used to describe her.
Our sickle cell goddess Nora is a sickle cell warrior like no other and also a sickle cell advocate.
For over 10 years now, she has been a motivation to many sickle cell warriors through education, mentorships and giving them a voice in clinical support groups and in the community.
.
Nora founded EMELI’S SMILE SICKLE CELL FOUNDATION in May 2018 and she continues to use her online platforms to demystify sickle cell in changing the narratives and perceptions of people living with sickle cell disease; using her undiluted life challenges as a point of reference.
.
She does her yearly online campaigns with ‘Break The Sickle Cycle’… and in the year 2020 she added the tag ” ‘SwagUp4SickleCell’ – making warriors to understand that sickle cell shouldn’t be a barrier for you looking good as anyone can be a model” —Nora Brown Talks
.
Nora says these campaigns have been a great success as she uses red and black & encourages others to join in. She is excited seeing how great it has been as more celebrities in the community are also joining their voices with her to create awareness and help sickle cell warriors.
.
Nora is delighted as Emeli’s Smile Sickle Cell Foundation is making great progress since its creation. The foundation was officially launched on the 29th September 2018, in an event that took place in London. Funds were raised and they partnered with Association of Sickle Cell Persons in Cameroon (ASIPCAM) in Bamenda – Cameroon and carried out their first outreach activities in December 2018 where Nora and team were able to support and provide free medications to almost 440 warriors during that time.

May 2019, Nora travelled to Cameroon for her first “Break the Sickle Cycle” event in Bamenda. During the event, she launched the Emeli’s Smile Creativity Award which seeks to award sickle cell warriors with any creative piece of work. The entries to this award was amazing and the winners were given personalised blankets and mosquito nets. This award has been carried out yearly and due the covid restrictions, it moved to virtual. She’s been very consistent with her cause.
.
Nora has been giving fruits and vegetables to warriors in hospitals and in the community with her ongoing FEED A WARRIOR TODAY project. Nora & her team have so far been to Yaounde, Bamenda, Mutengene, Garoua through this initiative reaching out to over 5000 sickle cell warriors worldwide
Nora has continued with lots of projects in raising awareness and assisting warriors.
