Black Maternal Health Virtual Conference | National Black Nurses' Association

Welcome everyone to the Melanin Initiative! 

“In healthcare, there is often too much information and not enough time. Here at The Melanin Initiative, we avoid TMI by breaking things down into language you can understand, we create a safe space to ask your questions, and share our nursing perspective without taking too much of your time."
