The Melanin Initiative's Podcast
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.

The Melanin Initiative Season 3: Award Show & Exciting Season 4 Preview!
Welcome to The Melanin Initiative!
In this milestone episode, we're excited to present our first-ever TMI Awards, celebrating the journey we've taken together through Seasons 1-3. 🎉
Hosts Geraldine, Alisha, and Kimberly dive into the most impactful moments from our podcast so far, including discussions on our most popular episodes like Sexually Transmitted Infections, Sickle Cell Disease: The Patient Perspective, and Pap Smear, Cervical Cancer, and HPV. We explore why these topics resonated with our audience and how they’ve shaped the direction of our show.
But that's not all—this episode is also a chance to reflect on the mission and vision that guide The Melanin Initiative. We’ve made significant strides in making healthcare more accessible to Black and Brown communities by simplifying medical language, providing a safe space for dialogue, and partnering with organizations that share our commitment to health literacy. From adding new voices to our team to expanding our reach through collaborations with the National Black Nurses’ Association, Black Health Connect, and more, we’re proud of how far we’ve come.
As we celebrate these achievements, we're also looking forward to what’s next. Get a sneak peek into Season 4, where we'll continue to bring you powerful stories and insights through series like "Becoming a Midwife" and "Becoming a Physician," along with new initiatives like our Patreon and Merch Store.
