Monday's episode was dedicated to Kira Johnson, "a young, accomplished, African-American woman who died in childbirth at Cedars-Sinai almost three years ago to the date," according to The Root. "Charles Johnson, her widower, who has two young sons (ages 3 and 5), tirelessly advocates and amplifies the issue of maternal mortality through 4Kira4Moms, and worked extensively with The Resident’s writers to produce an authentic look at what might happen to a black woman giving birth in the United States today."
