It is 2023. Black women are still more likely to die from child birth in the United States. You are still here. We are still here. We are survivors.
Over the course of one week, Ada Pinkston heard the child birth stories of eight Black women in Cleveland in exchange for free holistic health care. These stories were translated into abstract textiles and edited into a sound installation.
