Anthony Pembleton - Westy
Manage episode 411296908 series 3567383
A larger than life character, who's first love is - West Ham United! Anthony Pembleton is renowned for his bright suits, odd shoes and gleeful dance moves. Being born with Sickle Cell has not held him back when it comes to the dance floor or the gym, which he visits daily.
In this conversation, Westy shares his health issues and how they effect people mainly from the African diaspora, and how the NHS failed to recognise sickle cell as a life long illness, but thankfully Wales is now leading the way in moves towards change.
Westy is a funny character, who is kind and generous with his times to a fault. With many many years working in youth and community work , he is passionate about the opportunities for young people and love to write poems. He is pretty hard to sum up actually, as one minute he is a gentle giant, who loves people, then next his attitude towards women and marriage, leaves you speechless, but hey! at least he's honest.
You gotta love Westy!
