You know, losses are tough, but it’s a 
journey and you’ve got to embrace it and 
improve through it.

After losing the Big Ten Tournament 
championship game, @umichbball is 
moving forward and happy to have a No. 
2 seed for #MarchMadness

WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K

MAX KUANG/Daily

When you’re stressed 
with finals and midterms, 
how do you cope? How 
do you strike a balance 
between both work and 
fun?

“The first thing I do is make 
a written schedule that 
organizes what to do each 
day, just so I make sure I 
finish everything I need to 
do. I also like studying with 
friends and studying ahead 
of time so that way it’s a 
more fun and relaxed time 
instead of really stressful... 
I also love my sorority, like 
I only get to see the girls 
on the weekends but we’ve 
grown so close and I know 
I always have them to go 
out with or to learn on for 
support—so that makes 
the week worth it.”

“Students as future leaders 
— whether they’re in health-
care professions or not — we 
really wanted them to criti-
cally think about some of the 
issues that we’re facing in the 
world in general and what 
you would do about it.”
The dialogue began with 
an expert panel that included 
nurses, 
obstetrician-gyne-
cologists, professors and re-
searchers interested in the 
topic.
The panelists discussed 
what they believe to be 
the key issues facing Black 
women in prenatal health-

care in response to three 
articles that were recom-
mended reading before the 
event: Why America’s Black 
Mothers and Babies Are in a 
Life-or-Death Crisis, Amer-
ica is Failing its Black Moth-
ers and What States Aren’t 
Doing to Save New Mothers’ 
Lives. 
Charisse Marie Loder, a 
clinical lecturer at Michigan 
Medicine, summarized the 
discrimination Black women 
face in health care due to im-
plicit racism.
“All of the readings that 
were 
assigned 
today 
re-
ally focus on issues such 
as poor prenatal care, poor 
access to care, and what 
really disturbs me is the 

relationships between the 
providers and the patients 
that were described,” Loder 
said. “Often concerns were 
tossed 
aside 
or 
obvious 
medical problems or vital 
sign abnormalities were ig-
nored, and that’s a result of 
implicit bias or racism, and 
I think that’s something 
that we need to address in 
our training and work on 
reducing that as much as 
possible.”
Following the first panel, 
attendees split into groups 
surrounding facilitators seat-
ed around the room and re-
sponded to the ideas put forth 
by the panelists. Students 
and alumni from a variety of 
disciplines within medicine 
shared their responses and 
proposed ideas regarding 
how to fight inequity.
Kinesiology 
senior 
Bri-
anna Kennedy said she was 
invited to the event after at-
tending a previous Martin 
Luther King Jr. symposium 
and was interested in the 
topic because she is study-
ing both athletic training 
and Afroamerican and Afri-
can studies.
“It is a bridging gap be-
tween my major and mi-
nor in a way, with race and 
health, so it’s an interesting 
event to come to,” Kennedy 
said.
The second group of pan-
elists then shared their own 
thoughts on issues of racism 
in healthcare.
Jessica Fladger, a certified 
nurse midwife, stressed the 
importance 
of 
healthcare 
providers 
acknowledging 
their own internal biases.
 “I think the problem in 
our society is when we think 
about racism we think about 
the Ku Klux Klan, we think 
about obvious implications 

of racism, and we don’t think 
about our own internal bias-
es and how we react to peo-
ple who don’t look like us,” 
Fladger said. “We all have bi-
ases — it doesn’t matter what 
color you are, where you’re 
from, how you speak — we all 
have internal biases that we 
first have to address before 
we try to fix any problem that 
our nation is currently fac-
ing.”
After the second group of 
panelists spoke and respond-
ed to questions, attendees 
again broke into groups and 
discussed the new topics 
that had come up. Follow-
ing the final discussions, 
each panelist gave a closing 
remark reflecting on the dia-
logue overall and urging that 
attendees continue the con-
versations and advocate for 
women.
Dr. Lisa Kane Low, associ-
ate professor at the School of 
Nursing, said the conversa-
tion inspired her.
“There can be spaces and 
time where you start to get 
discouraged and you start to 
get cynical, and this is the 
kind of space that inspires 
you not to go to that ugly 
place but to be inspired and 
move forward,” Low said. “I 
look forward to many of you 
being the leaders that help 
us get past the errors of our 
ways and help us move for-
ward.”
The event was sponsored 
by the University of Michigan 
Schools of Nursing, Dentist-
ry, Kinesiology, Public Health 
and Social Work, College of 
Pharmacy, Michigan Medi-
cine and Michigan Institute 
for Clinical and Health Re-
search.
