A Black Mother Dying

A Black Mother Dying is a short masterpiece that gives you a glance into the author's struggle with her fourth pregnancy. Not initially understanding the poor maternal outcomes that currently exist in the United States, the author tells her story from her pre-pregnancy days to her post-partum days and in between. It's an emotional rollercoaster of a mother who is simply trying to live long enough to give her unborn child a chance at life - while fighting the medical providers who are often dismissive and inattentive to the physical and emotional needs of black women. You get a look at all of the different emotions she experienced that led to her desire to fight for improved maternal outcomes for black women, and all women, after surviving the birth of her last child
