Diannia Merriett–Alabi

Health Equity Organizer-Diannia Merriett is a dedicated Health Equity Organizer with MICAH, where she has worked for equitable health care access across Milwaukee since joining the team in 2022. In her current role, she leads efforts to reduce the maternal mortality rates among Black women—one of the task force’s most urgent priorities.

Before her work with MICAH, Diannia served as President of PAGE, an organization committed to elevating marginalized voices and fostering genuine inclusion. That experience sharpened her skills in coalition-building and advocacy, laying the groundwork for her current mission.

What Diannia values most about her work at MICAH is the opportunity to collaborate with people from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, united by a shared pursuit of social justice. She finds daily inspiration in Bryan Stevenson’s words:

“I think sometimes, when you’re trying to do justice work, when you’re trying to make a difference, when you’re trying to change the world, the thing you need to do is get close enough to people who are falling down, get close enough to people who are suffering, close enough to people who are in pain, who’ve been discarded and disfavored — to get close enough to wrap your arms around them and affirm their humanity and their dignity.”

Guided by this ethos, Diannia continues to strive for systemic solutions that honor the dignity and well-being of every individual she serves.

She can be reached at diannia@micahmke.org.

If you want peace, work for justice. – Pope Paul VI
