Why You Need to Be in Tulsa
This isn’t a conference where you sit in a cold ballroom collecting CE credits and free pens. This is a homecoming for Black nurses. A return to sacred ground. A three-day experience designed to restore what was taken, honor what we’ve built, and strategize for what’s next.
We’ll explore what reparations looks like in real time for Black nurses—pay, policy, leadership, and peace. No fluff. No performative DEI.
We’re talking wealth-building, ownership, and the power of our collective voice in healthcare so your work outlives your job title.
Being in a room full of Black nurses who get it is healing by itself. The conversations, the laughter, the tears, the strategy—you can’t get that from a replay.
This conference is where we stop just keeping the system running and start rewriting how it works for us.
Why Tulsa
Tulsa, Oklahoma was once home to one of the wealthiest Black communities in America—the Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street. A place where Black excellence, ownership, and prosperity thrived… until it was violently destroyed.
In 2026, Black Nurses Week® is returning to this sacred ground with intention:
You’re not just attending a conference. You’re standing in a place that proves what we can do when we own our power, our businesses, and our history.
Experience
Even without speakers announced, the experience is clear: this conference is built around legacy, liberation, and the future of Black nursing.
Discussions on reparations, equity, and the future of Black nursing—led by people who live the work.
Quiet spaces, intentional breaks, and healing-centered environments that finally honor your nervous system.
Career mobility, entrepreneurship, negotiation, and financial empowerment—because your labor is worth more.
Learn the story of Black Wall Street and connect our past to our plan for the future.
Connect with Black nurses across the country—leaders, creators, scholars, and innovators.
Expect music, storytelling, laughter, strategy, and Black joy—not just lectures.
