A medical illustration with a Black parent and fetus went viral. Doctors call for more diversity in medical literature and illustrations.
"To see a Black mom and a Black fetus in that way it humanizes us. We are part of the discussion," one doctor told TODAY.
TODAY reached out to Ibe, but he hasn't responded to requests for an interview. According to a GoFundMe dedicated to helping him pay for medical school, he taught himself medical illustration. Since sharing the illustration, Phillips learned that other birthing groups use people of various skin tones in their illustrations as well. She applauds these efforts and hopes that medicine encourages more illustrations that better represent diverse people they treat.
“When I speak to white friends, colleagues about it, they’re like, ‘Oh I didn’t realize it was such a big deal’ or ‘Why is this such a big deal?’” she said. “Those types of questions really highlight the sort of overwhelming influence of white culture.”
