Actually, in the lobby of our stats here in North Carolina. So right here in North Carolina, if you're black woman, you're three to four times more likely to die from childbirth in a white woman. And even when you account for education, healthcare, access, please Google the story of Tamika Isaac. This was a woman with a graduate degree who had phenomenal healthcare, had a rare liver condition that no one spotted. They could have found out what they simple urine test, never did the test. All the signs. The issue with the textbook case of health and she went to the hospital, she made it out and her son did not. And these are her words, not mine. You should not go to the hospital and have to bring your child home in a box when it could have been prevented. So, so many of these deaths are preventable. Yes, Marsha Downs has given us, I think we went from a D plus to AD minus. We actually got worse. And then we knew it. We knew that when COVID settled down and more the data came out, that our numbers were actually going to be worse. So we continue to get worse. At one point there was a small bump and the black maternal health category, because guess what, the rates for black women, for white women got worse. And back to the differences, Even when education, if you wear a black woman in North Carolina with a PhD, your health outcomes for having a healthy child births are worse than a white woman with a high school diploma. So these are women that have all the degrees, they're articulate, they can advocate for themselves and say, I'm hurting these, this is what I'm dealing with. So we know that racism is a fact.
