"Even through the pain, I knew what was happening. I grew up in America. It didn't matter that my family was wealthy or that I was educated or even that my husband was white. Nothing leveled the playing field. I am a brown woman. And these two white doctors felt it beneath them to help a brown woman deliver her baby. They could barely stand to touch me . . . even with their hospital gloves on.
That's one piece of the puzzle, one shard."
~ Samina Ali, page 27
