WHO IS PHYLLICIA?

Phyllicia Phillips Scott was a loving daughter, sister, wife, and aunt, who brought light to everyone she met. Phyllicia graduated from Clark Atlanta University in 2011, where she joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. She went on to finish law school and become a highly sought after attorney for Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, she channeled her love of all things beautiful into her co-founding of AMP Beauty LA in 2019.

Phyllicia married her college sweetheart in 2020, and began undergoing IVF treatment in hopes of starting a family. Phyllicia experienced pain from the treatment which was dismissed by her physician. Less than 48 hours after her procedure, she went into cardiac arrest, with blood clots surrounding her heart and lungs. She died the next day.

THE FACTS

 Black women are 3 times more likely to die from pregnancy related care.

70% of Black women have experienced their pain being dismissed by a care provider.
