On August 30, 2021, Denise’s mother Linda Magee received a call from an unknown 212 number. The coroner on the other end of the line informed Linda that her daughter had died without providing any information about Denise’s passing.

Amber literally tweeted on April 17, 2020 about how she could write a whole expose on “dealing with incompetent doctors” in the Bronx while Black and pregnant. Less than four days later, she died during an emergency C-section gone wrong.

After a routine stress test, Sha-Asia’s doctors noticed her blood pressure was high and recommended inducing her as well as an epidural. After that, she went into cardiac arrest and her baby was delivered via C-section. bit.ly/shaasia

One of the many failures of public health and science communication is the lack awareness and understanding of the manufactured Black maternal and perinatal health crisis. From Savannah, GA to Kāʻanapali, HI, educated & affluent white communities know nothing about this crisis.

Nice to see this 25 years after the paperback edition of Killing the Black Body was first published and now when our reproductive rights & freedoms are under even greater attack than they were then. #ReproductiveJustice
