Shakir Cannon was a Health Information Advocate and Co-Founder of the Minority Coalition for Precision Medicine (MCPM), an emerging organization dedicated to the disbursement of health information literacy through a parallel education and awareness strategy performed within minority populated regions as determined by US Census data. Shakir was also an internationally recognized Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patient and advocate who helped educate and spread awareness for SCD both as a public speaker and social media thought leader.
