#hATTRNextGen® is a community awareness initiative created to encourage conversations about hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, particularly the V122I gene variant that disproportionately affects many Black American families with West African ancestry.

Jessie L. Ealy, Father

I built #hATTRNextGen® in honor of my late father.

He lost his life to the V122I variant of hereditary amyloidosis in 2020.

Learning I was a carrier of this variant made me realize that too many Black families may have been affected by this disease or at risk without the information, cultural grounding, or community support that could have changed everything.

This space exists so our community can learn earlier, advocate louder, and protect the future with clarity and confidence.

This is legacy work, rooted in culture, truth, faith and love.

Where Science

Meets the Soul

In our community, often living with illness or the possibility of illness is not only a medical journey, but also an emotional and spiritual one for many families. This space highlights conversations, reflections, and stories that explore the intersection of faith, family legacy, and health advocacy.

We believe wellness resources should reflect and uplift our community. This guided meditation was created by Haven Inspired, and we are sharing it here to help amplify her voice and make moments of peace and reflection more accessible.

If you find this meditation helpful, please consider supporting her work by liking the video and subscribing to her YouTube channel.

Reflections to help us stay centered, rooted, and steady.
