Question

Shorten this Systemic inequalities continue to perpetuate healthcare disparities for African American women, leading to disproportionately poorer health outcomes. Addressing these issues requires systemic changes and community-driven initiatives. To address America's ongoing moral crisis, Stacey D. Stewart and Richard E. Besser, in their article "To End America's Maternal Mortality Crisis, Dismantle the Racism That Fuels It," contend that achieving birth equality and justice is essential. This involves ensuring healthy pregnancies and positive outcomes for all babies. This requires dismantling structural racism and health disparities. Addressing these issues should be the starting point for fixing a system that is failing women nationwide. The African American community has long demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of systemic challenges, including discrimination, economic disparities, and limited access to resources. This resilience is deeply rooted in cultural strengths such as strong family ties, communal networks, and spiritual traditions. These elements contribute significantly to the well-being and health outcomes of individuals within the community. Family and kinship networks often extend beyond immediate family, encompassing non-biological relationships that serve as sources of emotional and logistical support.
