Black Moms and Babies — Priska Neely

Black babies are twice as likely to die as white babies in their first years of life. Black women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complicated than white women.

Between 2018-2020, I reported and moderated conversations centered on these heartbreaking statistics, the lives they’ve touched and the people working to complicate the narrative and improve outcomes.
My work raised awareness and spurred policy change in Los Angeles.
