T Boz of the group TLC donated their likenesses to be featured exclusively in her very own T BOZ Calendar 2000 to benefit and bring awareness to her chosen charity Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation. The calendar was produced by Sebastian who is now the editor in chief of Fashion Sizzle Digital Magazine , a documentary Director and also events Producer of Fashion Sizzle NYFW.
Funds raised by T-Boz’s calendar (which finds her wearing a different wig for each month) are earmarked for the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation, an inherited blood disease affecting an estimated 70,000 people in the U.S. alone. T-Boz is also the national celebrity spokesperson for the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America.
This hard to find classic and gem is a now a collectors item and if you are lucky to have this treasure please handle with care as it is no longer in production . Below are some pics from the calendar

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, is very much admired by me , she is such an inspiration to our entire crew . We shot her calendar during a 5 day period at various locations and also at her home in Atlanta . She was very professional and never complained even when she was experiencing pain due to her Sickle Cell illness . Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, has always been an advocate for Sickle Cell Disease and she is now an author telling her story of her life with a book titled A Sick Life: TLC ‘n Me: Stories from On and Off the Stage”
A Sick Life: TLC ‘n Me: Stories from On and Off the Stage”, the new memoir from Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, was released on September 12 — appropriately, right in the heart of Sickle Cell Awareness Month. More than a year in the making, this book details T-Boz’s experiences of coping with sickle cell, while simultaneously making a living as a member of the highest-selling girl group.
In an exclusive interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, T-Boz revealed the significance of her memoir’s title. “It’s a strong word, ‘a sick life,’ ’cause I’ve had it all,” she said. “I was told I would never live past 30; I would be disabled my whole life and never have kids.” Obviously, she beat every odd stacked against her and then some: She’s now 47 years old, she birthed a child at age 30, and she managed a hectic schedule and traveled the world as a member of TLC. Surmounting those obstacles didn’t come without setbacks, however.
According to People magazine, which landed the rights to publish excerpts of the memoir in their latest issue, T-Boz told them that after giving birth to her daughter Chase, her body began to shut down and she was in a coma for three days. “Often, it’s hard to breathe or walk,” the magazine reports T-Boz wrote in her memoir. “Some days I wake up consumed by pain. It’s like knives stabbing me over and over again in my joints. Chase gave me a reason to keep pushing through.”
“A Sick Life” is on sale now, and you can even get a signed copy of the book by clicking here.
