My childhood bestfriend is dead. Not from COVID19. She died b/c a racist healthcare system means that Black women in America are 4x more likely than wyt women die from maternal health issues. She voiced her concerns to her Dr. and was ignored. She was 26. This was her last tweet. https://twitter.com/radieux_rose/status/1251153973886676994

I am absolutely heart broken. She was in pain and she was sick and she knew something was wrong. Like many Black women, she was ignored. Had the doctors listened to her and run tests earlier, she would still be here.

She was ignored and belittled and when they finally ran tests, it was too little too late. She died during the c-section.
