Legacy, Reparations, and the Future of Black Nursing
This is where legacy is honored, truth is confronted, and Black nurses gather in a space that feels real, unfiltered, and unlike anything else.
Not performative. Not surface-level. And never one-size-fits-all.
This is a strategic, culturally rooted in-person experience centered on legacy, reparations, truth, leadership, and the future of Black nursing.

The voices behind the work
These are the voices leading the conversations on legacy, repair, and what it means to move Black nursing forward without leaving anything unaddressed.
Tiffany Gibson, MSN-ED, RN, NPD-BC, CPN
Tiffany blends emotional intelligence and human design to help nurses better understand themselves, how they lead, and how they move through environments that were never built with them in mind.
Dr. Asa T. Briggs, DNP
Dr. Briggs explores the psychological and physical impact of racial trauma, examining how it shows up in the Black body and mind, and what it takes to move from survival toward healing.
Dr. Cambria Nwosu, DNP, RN, CNOR(E), CSSM(E), LNC
Dr. Nwosu leads this critical conversation, bringing clinical, legal, and leadership perspective to center the real risks Black nurses face, including legal exposure, racism, and retaliation in the workplace.
DonQuenick Joppy, RN
As a panelist, DonQuenick Joppy brings lived experience and real-world perspective to this conversation, including her role in securing a $20 million verdict against HCA, grounding it in the realities of legal risk, retaliation, and the consequences Black nurses can face in the workplace.
Dr. Kiiyonna Jones, PhD, FNP-C
Dr. Jones centers artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for reclaiming time, knowledge, and intellectual labor, helping Black nurses build ownership, scalable platforms, and pathways for collective wealth.
Virginia Allen, DHL, LPN
Virginia Allen offers a rare firsthand perspective as one of the last Black Angels—the nurses who helped find a cure for tuberculosis—centering the lived legacy of those who shaped the profession and the responsibility of carrying that history forward for the future of Black nursing.
What happens when you are in the room.
This is where the conversations, the connections, and the experience come together in a way that extends beyond the conference itself.
Real and unfiltered conversations
No surface-level inspiration. No generic nursing talk. This is a space for honest conversations about legacy, power, protection, truth, and what it takes for Black nurses to move forward with intention.
Culturally rooted by design
This conference is grounded in Black nursing, Black history, and shared lived experience. From the conversations to the setting, every part of the experience is designed to feel relevant, intentional, and true to who we are.
Connection you can feel
The in-person experience matters here. The energy in the room is unmatched and cannot be recreated through a screen. Even if you come alone, you will leave with new cousins, real connections, and a community you can carry forward.
What this looks like in real time
Black Wall Street Experience
You won’t just hear about history. You will walk through it. This experience places you in the story of Greenwood, once the wealthiest Black neighborhood in the United States, and connects its legacy of prosperity, loss, and rebuilding to what we are creating today.
Documenting Your Legacy Workshop
This is a hands-on experience where you begin documenting your own nursing legacy, your impact, and what you want to carry forward.
Real Conversations That Go Deeper
These are not surface-level panels. This is where conversations unfold around power, advocacy, and the realities Black nurses navigate every day.
Curated Spaces to Connect
From intentional gatherings to evening experiences, every space is designed to create real connection without the pressure of traditional networking.
This is not just a location. It’s part of the story.
Tulsa places this conference in direct connection with the history of Black Wall Street, once the wealthiest Black neighborhood in the United States. It brings attendees into proximity with a legacy of prosperity, destruction, and rebuilding that still shapes what it means to move forward today.
This is where the conversation around restoring what’s owed becomes real.

The Liability of Being Black in Nursing: Legal Risk, Racism, and Retaliation
This conversation is grounded in a real case that exposed what can happen when racism, retaliation, and false narratives intersect in the workplace.
It speaks to what it looks like when a Black nurse’s credibility is questioned, her voice is challenged, and systems fail to protect her.
This is about understanding the risk, the patterns, and what it takes to protect yourself when everything is on the line.
This is happening more than you think.
You don’t realize the risk until you’re in it.
This is where you begin to understand how these situations unfold, how narratives get shaped, and how quickly things can escalate.
What you’re feeling gets named.
What you’ve experienced starts to make sense.
And more importantly, you leave with a clearer sense of how to protect yourself, advocate for yourself, and move with intention in environments that don’t always offer it.
Don't miss what this room will give you.
Come to Tulsa ready to be challenged, affirmed, and equipped with what you need to move differently.
