8:03Now PlayingMarc Lamont Hill chats with “The Chi” actress Yolonda Ross about her role on the Showtime series, and racial disparities in healthcare.
Ross says that one of the challenges Black women face in medicine is not being listened to about their healthcare needs.
“Just because we have to take care of everything all the time, doesn’t mean there’s not a problem,” Ross says. On “The Chi” Ross plays Jada, a nurse who’s battling cancer. She says that her character gives Black women an opportunity to see themselves on screen.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
