“You can’t be, what you can’t see” ~Marian Wright Edelman

Bonim Kim BSN RN, CCRN attended a Diversity CRNA 2024 Information Session & Airway Simulation Lab Workshop hosted at Fairfield University.

She perused the Harlem School of Anesthesia 1965 Yearbook and was thrilled to see a South Korean Nurse Anesthetist!

Representation matter!

A historical yearbook traveled to 5 Diversity CRNA 2024 Information Session & Airway Simulation Lab Workshop Events

Goldie Brangman Program Director Harlem School of Anesthesia dedicated page in the 1965 Scope Yearbook featuring graduates & pioneering warriors who fought for racial inequities in the country.

Today, critical care nurses of color need to know diverse Nurse Anesthetists who paved the way for us to deliver anesthesia.

Fun fact: Out of a 65K CRNA Workforce, only 4% are Black CRNAs, 4% Hispanic CRNAs, 3% Asian CRNAs & 0.7% Indigenous CRNAs.

Dear Marcus D. Henderson, MSN, RN, a Future PhD Researcher and Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing,

I watched you from afar for a while and admired your commitment towards advocacy and justice in nursing.

I absolutely love your PhD journey and how your presence uplift other men of color to do the same. I hope you permit me to ask publicly if I can come and listen to your PhD defense at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing.

I witnessed your brilliance as a moderator at the ANA Equity Summit and know your body of work will be felt for generations to come in nursing and in our communities.

In this video, 30 years from now, men of color in nursing, will see you in the same light. I am sure of it.

Keep shining…I look forward to witnessing more from you as you contribute your wealth of new knowledge in this much needed space.

Respectfully,

Dr. Gould
