Pulitzer Center grantee and 2023 AI Accountability Fellow Naipanoi Lepapa will visit Huston Tillotson University on March 19, 2024. She will be a guest in seminar classes and meet informally with students. 

Lepapa, who is based in Nairobi, Kenya, contributed to The Baby Broker Project. The sprawling investigation tells the story of one of the world’s most successful low-cost surrogacy agencies, New Life. Journalists from Mexico, Georgia, the U.K., Estonia, Kenya, and Cambodia documented opaque ownership structures, a practice of recruiting vulnerable women to carry donor children, and questionable commercial offerings.
