of “Culture CareThe Essence Fest booth highlighted major disparities in the U.S. health care system when it comes to women of color.
Our Fashionbomb CEO, Claire Salmers She went out into the field to share her own experiences with inadequate healthcare while also advocating for healthcare equality.
“Adequate medical care should not be a luxury” said Salmers.Culture Care offers Black women the opportunity to consult with Black doctors who look like them at affordable rates. It’s awesome!“
Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Olivia Pope and Joy A. Cooper spoke about maternal health and mortality within the Black community due to discrimination in the medical field.
“When it comes to health, black women are more likely to die during pregnancy than other races. They’re also more likely to have asthma and heart disease.” Salmers said.
The evidence of bias in our healthcare system is in the facts, and as Black women, it is essential that we have a team of Black physicians who can provide quality care for our greatest health.
Did you know that 79% of Black women are overweight or obese? That’s more than half of Black women in our community, and it comes with many risk factors, including heart disease, high blood pressure, liver disease and diabetes.
