In this episode of Choose the Bear, I talk with Jeremy Ney—data journalist and creator of American Inequality—about maternal mortality in the United States. We dig into both the encouraging trends and the sobering truths behind maternal health outcomes, especially for women of color.

Jeremy’s research offers a critical look at the systemic inequalities impacting maternal mortality and what can actually be done to address them. This conversation is eye-opening, data-driven, and incredibly important.
