In this episode of Out Here Tryna Survive, I dive deep into two devastating news stories that reveal a painful truth: Black women are still not believed — even when our lives depend on it.
This past week, two Black women were turned away from hospitals while in active labor. One was 8 minutes from giving birth.
Another delivered her baby in a van on the side of the road. These aren’t “mistakes.” This is medical racism — alive, deadly, and happening every single day in America.
We explore:
✨ Why Black women face the highest maternal mortality rate in the United States
✨ The emotional + physiological toll of not being believed
✨ How dismissal in medical spaces mirrors dismissal everywhere else
✨ The violent online culture of “humbling Black women”
✨ Why even celebrations (like Black Girl Magic) provoke attacks
✨ The political moment between Marjorie Taylor Greene & Rep. Jasmine Crockett
✨ And how all of this becomes a constant assault on the Black woman’s nervous system
This is not just a “news recap.”
This is an emotional autopsy of what these stories do to us — mentally, physically, culturally, and spiritually.
If you’re a Black woman, this episode validates what you’ve felt your whole life.
If you love Black women, this episode shows you what we carry every day.
