"People are getting away with crimes, people are literally getting away with taking lives in emergency rooms and labor rooms; the amount of black women that die during childbirth... outrageous. And there's no accountability whatsoever, because we don't want to cancel them or hurt their feelings." - Teresa Turner, MS, RD, LDN, SNS, FAND
