Paige Destin
Hello! My name is Paige Destin. I am 13 years old and an 8th grade student at Little Red School House, also known as LREI. At LREI, 8th Graders work on a Citizen Action Project. This Project focuses on environmental and social issues that affect us today. For my Citizen Action Project, I am researching Maternal Death Rates, specifically deaths among Black women. My group member and I are comparing the statistics on how many Black women die during or after labor compared to the amount of White women that die during or after labor. We are also looking at how mistreatment of Black women in hospitals and stereotypes contribute to this issue, and how it can be prevented.
