Despite dealing with kidney dialysis and a subsequent transplant, Niesha Neal remains devoted to giving voice to the voiceless.
Refusing to let this slide, Neal is doing all she can to help create awareness and change, writing letters and lobbying her elected officials. “She became an advocate not only for herself, but for all the others who are affected by this Medicaid mismanagement,” shares Rachael Himsel, the founder and editor of the websiteA fierce advocate for dialysis patients, in 2019 Neal became a member of the medical review board with IPRO’s End-Stage Renal Disease Network Program in the Ohio River Valley.
Neal’s own health journey has been a struggle for years. When she was 13 she was diagnosed with Type 1 juvenile diabetes. Despite the “dialysis and diabetes shackles,” she remained unstoppable. Neal enrolled in college classes at Martin University which offered a basic college course for those working on their GED. Her first semester there she earned her GED diploma. After getting her AS, she she earned a BA degree in criminal justice from Indiana Institute of Technology in 2017 while she was on dialysis. “I was in tears,” says Neal. “I couldn't believe I had made it. Dialysis hadn't taken me out and I proved my GED teacher wrong.
