There are 100 years worth of studies showing the inequality of healthcare when it comes to minorities. This sounds like something is in desperate need of disruption!

Maria is also a fellow podcast host and big fan of the San Jose Sharks! She’s here to shine a light on the inequalities in the healthcare industry.

Quote of the show:
12:50 “If you can fathom this, the United States has a maternal mortality rate for black women delivering a baby, that is similar to third world countries. They die at two and half times the rate of others. I’m going to give you an example and you’ll be surprised who it is. A black female giving birth to a child, who has a history of pulmonary embolisms.
She complains about feeling sick, and she thinks she’s got another blood clot because she’s had it before. She’s telling the nurses and staff look I think I’ve got this please do something. She coughs and coughs and coughs and coughs to the degree that she breaks the stitches from her C-section and then they finally do what they need to do, which is check all this stuff.
She did have a blood clot. That woman was Serena Williams. If you could fathom a person as powerful as Serena Williams can’t get heard when she’s concerned about her health, her status, what’s going on in her body, what happens to the average person?”
