Heartbreaking...I think some doctors just don’t take patient concerns seriously because they think “What do they know? I’M the doctor.” Like... we know what are bodies are going through with certain feelings we get, especially when pregnant. Your body just KNOWS what’s up.
Amber Isaac’s tragic story is all too common for Black women and my heart aches for her family. This isn’t about education or socioeconomics. There is implicit bias in our health care system. My Maternal CARE Act would help solve this epidemic.https://www.essence.com/news/amber-isaac-dies-childbirth-bronx-hospital-tweet/ …

I should also add that when you’re on welfare insurance, they look at you shocked when you present yourself nicely and formally. Like they’re just expecting someone on welfare to be drugged out and have low intelligence. Or at least that’s the vibes I get

If you want my support you have to be against injustices against everyone, not just those of a particular color.

The infant mortality rate for Black infants is twice the rate for white babies. Are you really okay with that?
