Amber Scorah became a passionate advocate for paid parental leave following a devastating personal tragedy. On her first day back at work after maternity leave, her infant son, Karl, tragically died at day care. Scorah had not felt ready to return to work and leave her son in daycare, highlighting the issue of insufficient parental leave policies in the United States.

This heartbreaking experience motivated her to campaign for better parental leave policies, as she believes that parents should have the necessary time to bond with and care for their newborns without the pressure of having to return to work too soon. Her advocacy efforts aim to prevent other parents from facing similar situations due to inadequate parental leave.
