Medical racial bias toward Black moms is a BIG problem with doctors/nurses ignoring warning signs and symptoms, misdiagnosis, and malpractice!
Systemic inequalities and environmental racism plagues communities of color. Air pollution is one of many factors hurting Black families. Lead paint, poor water quality, and toxins too!
Widespread use and exposure to pesticides like @Bayer-Monsanto's #Roundup can lead to miscarriage AND deadly cancers like non-hodgkin's lymphoma. These disproportionally impact marginalized minorities!
