It was months ago that my wife shared a video with me, that was done about a woman named Kira Johnson. Her husband Charles Johnson was on capital hill advocating for a bill that would help, and protect expecting mothers. He's started an initiative 4Kira4Moms that advocates for better maternal care. He lost his wife due to negligence by the hospital she was being treated at. Sadly it's not an uncommon issue, especially for women of color. A friend of my Christina reached out to me on Facebook, with her own bad healthcare experience, and thought it would be a good topic for the podcast and I agreed. Tied into my family's experience with my sister Nikki, there is a problem with women's healthcare in this country in general. The problem is even more prevalent for non-white women in the United States. So Christina joined me shared her story and we discussed why we think this is, and what we can do to try to help the women in our community.
