"The infant mortality rate in Cuyahoga County (the county where Cleveland is located) is one of the highest in the United States. Of the 13,925 babies born in Cuyahoga County in 2019, 120 didn’t make it to their first birthday. The numbers are especially concerning for African American babies."- First Year Cleveland
Shana is joined by Miesha Headen, from the American Association of Clergy and Employers, Samantha Williams Pierce from Renegade Soul, and Dr. Tisha Carter of Project 31 to discuss lived experiences of miscarriages, stillbirths and what can be called the Mosaic of Death for Black people.
