Black Maternal Mortality From Racism
I saw Hope begging for Change at the corner
Wide-eyed with a buckled stance and a tin cup,
Hoping that life will gift her with Change
But Hope never asked for money and dollars
Only for possibilities.
Packaged in metal coins
That never found space in her pocket.

Narrative Medicine competency allows for a more thorough understanding of the patient’s experience and how social determinants affect patient outcomes.
