I have just received the sad news of the passage of Tosyn Bucknor (Area Mama) due to complications from Sickle cell.
As a healthcare professional, I am well aware of the challenges of people living with sickle cell.
Tosyn fought a good fight.

She was as a true scion of the creative Bucknor dynasty. As a chip off-the-old-block, she carved a niche for herself and was a darling of the airwaves
My heart goes out to Funke Bucknor-Obruthe and the entire family.
May her playful, lively amd energetic soul rest in peace.

This one hit so close to home ❤️ I met you in 1999, we started our radio careers at the same time and I had to leave for a while but you forged ahead. I was blessed to work with you on… https://t.co/8Ozlc978bq
