NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt
How about listen to all women?
Charles Johnson has a message to lawmakers after his wife Kira died from childbirth: listen to Black women when they say something doesn’t feel right. My Maternal CARE bill aims to ensure women are listened to in our health care system.pic.twitter.com/FxuyVR6kXR

stop trying to steal the light from those who need it most. Black women are the most under-appreciated and overlooked group of PEOPLE in the world... this isn't about All lives matter (which of course they all do). but for once... shut up and just listen.

Hey Pam, settle yourself. The story went on to say that black women are 4X more likely to die in childbirth. At the end of the segment they say listen to women when they say something is wrong. KH is mentioning black women because they’re ignored.

I'm 66 and a white woman. They still don't treat me like I have a brain. I'm a veteran and they (female nurses) call me "Mister" when calling me to Triage. If my concerns are not addressed, I can only imagine how much worse it is for my Black sisters!

Woman, minority, overweight or mental health issues. All of these things often leads to being dismissed by health professionals.

Agree completely. And that is why

Black women are more than 4x as likely to experience postpartum mortality (not to mention morbidity!) than white women. This is a national emergency. Thank you for addressing. Numbers are staggering

I worked in Africa. An MD colleague of mine (Kamal Kheirallah) attended a training course at Johns Hopkins. His pregnant wife developed life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. When he called it in, the response was, in effect, "take 2 aspirins & call in the AM."
