And so imagine the countless other people who have to go through that and are losing loved ones because the healthcare system is not listening particularly to black people and black women.

Oh, goodness.

Yeah, that's I hear so many times where people are misdiagnosed and even sometimes like the medication, given the wrong medication to begin with.

And it's like that wasn't even what they needed.

Yeah.

My mother, she has worked in the health care system since I can remember.

And I could see the toll that it would take on her just as a person who had to see that every single day.

Yeah.

Well, I hope my story just...

can just move the needle.

And that's for me, it's hard to talk about, but it's important because it's to shed a light on.

It's like we've got to talk about how we're treated in the hospital system.

We've got to talk about just how it works and how it doesn't work for everyday people who are just struggling to just keep their loved ones healthy and alive and in our lives.

My goodness.

Last season on Sisters, we touched on the disparaging inconsistencies of white women who have birth, childhood birth deaths, and then, I mean, child labor birth deaths, and then black women who have children die during labor, and even women who die during labor.

Two to three times more likely to die giving birth

and the statistics for black women against the world, it's alarming.

It's alarming to hear the stories, the painful stories of black women, like just the recent stories of black women who had to give birth in a car or not sit in a hospital as a nurse is not paying attention to her pain while she's in labor.

That's very real.

It is.
