When tennis star Serena Williams gave birth last September, she had to talk doctors through saving her life. Her story spotlighted an alarming statistic: that in the U.S., Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes than white women. Facts like these underscore the reality that *how* we experience healthcare is directly related to *who* we are -- our race, our immigration status, our ability, our gender identity, our sexual orientation, how much money we make, where we live, and more -- and that in some cases, discrimination and lack of access are costing women our lives. This panel of experts will consider what barriers stand between women and quality health care and what we’re doing to dismantle them.
