Wonder why Black women are dying at 3 times higher rates surrounding childbirth?

 

The short story titled, The Quiltmakers, by Dr. B.K. Edmond and his sister and co-author Ms. Cassandra Edmond, provides a new and novel weapon in the fight for improved care for Black mothers. The book is dedicated ”to the mothers of the African American Community who unselfishly give life to our future while risking their own. It is for the sisters, daughters, cousins, aunts, wives, girlfriends and lovers who participate willingly in the beautiful creative revolutionary act of birth; thus, affirming daily each black child's value to this world.”
 

While using a small central Georgia town with a vibrant black community as the colorful backdrop, the authors deftly position textured black Southern traditions to form a thoroughly entertaining tale. The story engrosses while also educating the reader on the challenges that contribute to the higher death
rate of Black mothers during childbirth, which is 3 times the normal rate. The story engrosses while also educating the reader on the challenges that contribute to the higher death rate of Black mothers during childbirth, which is 3 times the normal rate. The story introduces country-familiar characters and masterfully lays down cloth quilting pieces into patterns that provide an excellent introduction to the challenges faced by black mothers. The common thread throughout the story is a perfectly balanced health message.

 

This brief 133-page read will benefit both patients and healthcare providers.

In light of the recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, we must unite in the fight to reduce maternal mortality rates among African African women.
