What disease does Jordin Sparks have?

Jordan Sparks is a multi-platinum recording artist and actor from the United States. Jordan Sparks does not suffer from any disease.

However, she has spoken frequently of her sister who died of sickle cell anemia. Since her sister’s passing, Jordan Sparks  has become a leading advocate for people with sickle cell disease.

Jordin Sparks spoke with Shaun Rabb of FOX 4 about her sister’s battle with the illness and eventual death in 2018 at the age of just 16.

Sparks described it as a disease that can strike at any time. “This is something that needs support. It needs to have people’s eyes on it.”

“People need to hear it because sickle cell is not something that you can see on somebody’s skin. It really affects the blood at a crisis that can happen at any moment,” she said.

Sparks collaborated with AFLAC on a special campaign to provide sick children with free emotional support robotic duck dolls to help them cope with the disease.
