I am incredibly proud to share that I am a named contributor to the Louisiana Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review 2020-2022 Report, specifically speaking to the work incorporating interviews with families and loved ones impacted by maternal mortality.
For nearly three years, I have held conversations with grieving Louisiana mothers, fathers, sisters, and children, asking them to trust me with the story of someone they lost. That work is sacred. Every conversation has shaped how I understand what it means to truly center the human experience in systems that are supposed to protect us.
The stories shared in these interviews do what data alone cannot. They add the human lens. They illuminate what was felt, what was missed, and what mattered most to the people living through it. Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have in the maternal health space, and when families are willing to share their truth, it has the ability to change the questions we ask, the recommendations we make, and ultimately, the care that follows.
This report represents years of listening, bearing witness, and honoring the lives behind the numbers. It is a testament to what becomes possible when we commit to the human story.
I am grateful to the Louisiana PAMR team for the trust they placed in me, and I am honored to carry the stories of these families forward in this work.
This is why the work matters.💜
