At a national gathering of women of color this week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren was confronted by this question the moment she took the stage: Black women are far more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women -- what will you do to address this crisis?
Without skipping a beat, the Massachusetts Democrat diagnosed the root of the problem with one word:"Prejudice.""Doctors and nurses don't hear African-American women's medical issues the same way that they hear the same things from white women," Warren said. The Democratic presidential candidate then offered up a line that is quickly becoming an unofficial campaign slogan.
"Kenya Minott, a black woman from Kingwood, Texas, said Warren devoted the most time out of any of the candidates to"talking tangibly about the policies she'd enact.""That resonated with me and the women seated around me," Minott, 47, told CNN."She was really very specific, and very clear about her zero tolerance of gender inequality and looking at how it has disproportionately affected women of color. People just want folks to keep it real with them.
