I live in a very white place and I knew at the beginning when people were dying at an intense rate that I'd never get the care I should get if I got infected, so I made sure to take every precaution available because I didn't want to be in the position.

I challenge white folks to open a dermatology book and count how many darker skin tones they see. How can doctors treat people with darker skin with a condition if they don't see it in their studies? How many medical drawings show a pregnant Black woman? Not many.

We really need more equatable medical texts, more Black doctors, etc before we ever get some level of balance.
