    Personal Protection

    On this episode, I had the honor of interviewing 3 Black women who are in the field of healthcare, specifically nursing. They allow me into their world and share stories of what a hair journey looks like in nursing for a Black nurse, personal examples of microagressions and bias, thoughts on representation and diversity initiatives, and the reasons they stay in nursing through all the madness.  Their Bios:  Na'Blahge (she/her) At 28 years old, Na'Blahge is dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse with four years of frontline healthcare experience, including Long Term Care and Skilled Rehabilitation facilities in the north shore or Massachusetts. Currently advancing her education through an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program, she is committed to expanding her clinical knowledge and skills. Passionate about patient advocacy, Na'Blahge uses her voice to empower patients, ensuring they receive compassionate, equitable, and informed care. Abang (she/her) Abang worked as a CNA before itching for more responsibility to be more helpful to her patients and that is what pushed her further. She is now a LPN working in Long Term Care. Dorain (also referred to as Jodi during the episode) (she/her) Dorain is an ambitious 27 year old Registered Nurse with 4 years of healthcare experience, including critical care, and travel nursing in facilities throughout MA and NH. When she's not running her small business, she's doing homework and completing a Bachelors of in Nursing (BSN).
