The way that sexism and racism continue to fester in medical care to this day is disgusting. Black women deserve better.

i read 'the secret life of Henrietta Lacks' years ago and I'm shocked by how many people don't know about her!if I remember right she didn't even consent to her cells being taken.

White people: volunteer to go with your Black lady friends to doctor appointments and yell at their docs on their behalf. It can make a difference.
