Amanda Knox

So I would stake out at the hospital.

I could never leave to fight.

And then it's always like, but did you do this?

Did you do this test?

And what I learned is like, I had all this privilege, all this access.

I could call friends that are all these expert doctors, all of this access.

And I had the ability and the economic ability to basically relocate myself to Charleston, South Carolina, where she was.

And I thought, if this is this hard for me... You can imagine.

What is it like for people who don't have my access, who don't have just my abilities?

And it just breaks my heart what people are dealing with on a day-to-day basis in a healthcare system.

And now with the administration that we have...

It's even worse.

Hospitals are shutting down.

the one place or the one hospital that could actually serve.

And so it just really, for me, was a lesson.

It was heartbreaking, but it also, for me, was more of a resolve to be a voice and an advocate, to tell the story of my mother about misdiagnosis, because Black women, our pain, whether or not it's the fibroids in our bodies or it's, you know, whatever it is, our pain, or when we go to doctors, it's not...

It's not viewed the same.

It's like, oh, you just got this.

Like my mother was misdiagnosed and just pushed aside.

And I still was fighting and we still couldn't save her.
