"My daughter had a beautiful heart, mind and soul- she wasn't just beautiful, but intelligent," said Witherspoon, who talked about her daughter's bachelors' degree in criminal justice.
"Find your doula, have a birthing plan, get your midwives, ask all the questions," said Denene Witherspoon, Fields' mother... "If you're in pain, speak, scream, yell."
Fields' family has filed a $41 million lawsuit against Woodhull, part of the city's public hospital system. The family alleges the hospital system and Woodhull were 'careless and negligent' in their care for Fields and her now one-year old son Anuel Perez.
A vigil was held in Bedford Stuyvesant on Wednesday to honor Christine Fields, a pregnant Black woman who died at NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull last year from hemorrhaging, following an emergency Cesarean section.
