Restoring What’s Owed.
In Tulsa, We Gather With Intention.
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.
Legacy. Reparations. The Future of Black Nursing.
Restoring What’s Owed

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.
