What is the purpose of the guest post about black women dying?

It may be very traumatic for your black site users to read information about black women dying after childbirth. Especially on a majority white website.

What is the purpose of this post other than to elicit black trauma and further dehumanize black women? Many of whom are pregnant or have gone through their own traumatic experiences?

It also invites commentary on the topic of black women dying.

We've just posted this on the other thread @mamanrose but posting it here too:

Point taken, and thank you for raising it. It's a really tricky balance (one we've thought about before when covering things such as the risk of serious birth injuries or stillbirths) - of course we don't want to frighten people without being able to share constructive advice but we hope the Five X More messages shared in the OP provides that and will help to empower expectant mothers who are particularly affected by this issue.
