Tulsa gave us space to name what has been carried, what has been survived, and what must be restored.

But restoration was never meant to be the end of the conversation.

It made me ask a different question: What comes next?

What happens when we stop measuring our strength by how much we can endure?

What happens when we recognize that some of what we’ve learned to carry was never ours to carry in the first place?

Because if we are going to evolve, there are things we will have to release.

Evolution requires elimination.

And that evolution is what led us to 2027:

Black Nurse Joy: Reclaiming Our Right to Thrive.

We’re not starting a new conversation in Houston. We’re evolving the one we began in Tulsa.

And if you weren’t in the room in Tulsa, there’s still space for you in the room for what comes next. We’ll bring a little of Tulsa with us, so you can experience what brought us here before we step into what’s next, together, as a collective.

What happens when the experience is over, but your body is still responding as if it’s happening?

At the 2026 Black Nurses Week® Conference, Dr. Asa T. Briggs, DNP took us beyond what Black nurses experience and into what those experiences can leave behind in the mind and body.

Coming immediately after DonQuenick Joppy shared her story, his session hit differently.

Because surviving something and healing from it are not the same thing.

In 2026, we spent time examining what we’ve carried, what it has cost us, and what it means to begin healing from experiences we were never meant to normalize.

But that conversation was never meant to end there.

Because what comes after healing?

That question is shaping where we’re going next.

2027 will be an evolution of everything we started in that room.

Stay tuned.

2026 BNW Conference recap….

For years, the world knew the case.

At the 2026 Black Nurses Week® Conference, we got to know the woman.

For the first time, DonQuenick Joppy was invited to share her story publicly outside of a courtroom. Guided by Dr. Cambria Nwosu, the conversation moved beyond headlines and into the facts, the humanity, and the lasting impact of what happens when a Black nurse becomes the target of a false narrative.

There are wounds that no verdict can heal.

There are losses that no amount of money can restore.

And there is a level of emotional trauma that too often goes unseen.

For several days, our community did something the world had not done enough of.

We saw her.

We heard her.

We celebrated her.

We loved on her.

Because behind every legal case is a person whose life continues long after the courtroom empties.

The conversation may have taken place on our stage, but DonQuenick’s fight isn’t over. HCA has appealed the verdict, and the story continues.
