The mortality rates for birthing people of color are significantly higher compared to Caucasian women. This is primarily due to racial disparities. Despite the educational level or socioeconomic background ethnicity is a contributing factor to these statistics. Regardless of the struggle many women of color may face, nothing is more rewarding than assisting anxious moms to bring life into the world.
Although rewarding we are in a fight. A fight to ensure that black birthing bodies are treated as human beings just like our counter parts. Now don’t get me wrong white people are dying also just not at the alarming rate like people of color.
Here I am ready to work with my boots on the ground ready for battle.
