Ep.181: Using Her Voice To Advocate for Pregnancy & Infant Loss: A Conversation with Nneka Hall
Today I have a treat of a conversation for you! I talked with Nneka Hall about all things advocacy - the good, the bad and everything in-between. Nneka so generously shares her story about the lost of her child who was born stillborn due to undiagnosed preeclampsia and how that experience changed her in ways to begin to speak up, share her story & advocate for change.
More about Nneka in her own words:
Nneka Hall is the mother of four (2 Sunshines ages 21 and 16, an Angel baby who would be 11 and a Rainbow who is 7). In 2014 she founded Quietly United in Loss Together (QUILT) Campaign which is a Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness campaign designed to raise awareness of all types of loss from conception through a child's first two years of life, teach healthy fertility through womb health education, provide support to families who suffer these losses and provide support for memory programs so they won't close due to inability to afford supplies.
