23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: it got me past the panic of thinking about maybe

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 4: possibly negotiating.

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: So I'm almost there. Almost.

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: I am a new grad nurse. I well, yes, no grad.

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: I've been a nurse for about a year, and so

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: that my question is career oriented and you how to

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: ask it's I. I love my job, super duper absolutely

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: love it. I I feel like it's something that I

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: probably did in my past life with how fulfailed. I

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: feel but a little disappointed in it. I just keep

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 4: looking around and I don't see the melanin anyway. I

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: saw the met London in school, and now that I'm

35
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: in it and the positions that I'm in, it's just

36
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 4: just been a little a little bit heartbreaking. I'm lying,

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: it's a lot, which is what what the question that

38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: I sent over was about, which I'm hoping you guys

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: can provide some insight because you, I know, you were

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: a rad school teacher and then working in tech. I

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: feel like you guys might be able to relate. It's

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 4: like the higher you go, the less of us you see,

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: and it's just it gets kind of lonely, and I

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: don't know if it ever happened to you guys. You

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: kind of get cold, switching gets kind of tiring, and

46
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: then you get burned out at the end of the day,

47
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: and you're.

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: Like, it shouldn't take so much.

49
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: So I'm kind of having a hard time starting these conversations.

50
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to say, like, hey, where's the melanin?

51
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: Like where so that this is your question, ana, because

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: we haven't heard it beforehand. This is like a little

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: surprise for us.

54
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that is my yes, you know it's I

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: tend to just ask what I'm thinking, but you know

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: that when you're in corporate or when you're in a

57
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 4: more professional setting, you have to soften your speech. So

58
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 4: I am having a hard time trying to figure out

59
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: how to navigate those conversations because I really do want

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: to just go in and say, like where are the

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: black nurses? Like why are we not hiring? There's black

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 4: excellence and black women are insanely amazing, And you know,

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: I always use dNaM like the example, like when a

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: little black girl comes in, I want her to see

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: herself in the people that are giving her care.

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 5: I had a home birth last year. My midwife was black.

67
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: That was very important to me, and I didn't know

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: everything I was lacking until I had care from a

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: provider that looked like me, so now that is very

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: close to me.

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: It's very every.

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: Day that I go in, I feel like, where are

73
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 5: my peers?

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: And don't get me wrong, I work somewhere with some amazing,

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: out of this world people that I you know, every

76
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: single day that I get to work, I'm inspired by

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: other people that I work with, and it's great. But

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: I also feel like we're doing our community so disservice

79
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: because they don't match the people.

80
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: That we wanted to ask you, do you feel like

81
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: the community that you serve is it more diverse than

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: the staff at this hospital? That is concerning you would

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: want the staff to reflect the community in some way.

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: I'm shocked when my my husband's dad was in the

85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: hospital and they live. Where do you live, by the way,

86
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: I don't.

87
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 5: Think we have Illinois nearby Chicago?

88
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I was shocked when Enrique's dad went to

89
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: the hospital and no one spoke Spanish, and I was like,

90
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: you're in the freaking bronx. I didn't understand, like the doctor, sorry,

91
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: a couple of nurses, but the doctor who like he

92
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: was having you. I don't want to put business out there,

93
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: but it was a serious situation. The doctor didn't speak

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: Spanish and it's so much pressure on anyway, I'm just like,

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: what the so I I'm not entire really surprised, And

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: my first thought is, in that case, I think it's

97
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: going to be important for you. And you're early in

98
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: your career too, You're gonna have to vote with your

99
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: feet a little bit in the sense that choose to

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: work places where hopefully you have the choice, you have

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: those options where you can find a place that does

102
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: have diversity and make that one of the first questions

103
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: you ask when you interview and take a tour and

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: look around and see if it reflects the kind of

105
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: environment where you want to work. That will solve like

106
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: down the line, but right now, I understand it's uncomfortable.

107
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 2: At the same time, I would say, if it's really

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: bothering you, I would bring it up and maybe you

109
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: can find a way to do that that feels safe

110
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: to you, whether it's going to Do you have a

111
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: in a hospital. Do you have like an HR business

112
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: partner or someone dedicated to the nursing staff or a union.

113
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 4: Yes, and we have huddles, you know where we meet

114
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: with our directors and you know, the staff leadership is

115
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: very present it's just I don't know if it has

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: happened to you ladies. When you bring some thing up

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 4: to a demographic that's outside of yours immediately, even though

118
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: you're not saying directly like hey, you are keeping black women.

119
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: Out of the workspace.

120
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: Immediately, people just feel they need to defend themselves kind

121
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 4: of like they're like, hey, no, but not me. And

122
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: I I'm having a hard time passing that wall, you know, like.

123
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: You've tried and they've kind of shut you down and

124
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: been defensive, you.

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: Know, without saying yes you could, you know.

126
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: It's like I understand it's uncomfortable, But I've asked, like,

127
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: are our recruiters like we are they trained to be

128
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 4: cognizant of what is the resume test?

129
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: Are they? You know? Like are we name checking people?

130
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: Like are we not calling staff, you know, applicants because

131
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 4: the name sounds too difficult to pronounce, or you know,

132
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 4: things that we know happen and keep us out of,

133
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: you know, spaces where we deserve to be.

134
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: But it's seems to it was draining. It was it

135
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: was a draining experience.

136
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: I felt defeated afterwards, and it's it's just sad to

137
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: see like I have the luxury. I'm Latina, and I

138
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: have the luxury I like to pass when I in

139
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: times when I not necessarily like I felt like I

140
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: needed to.

141
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: But I have the luxury of being like a chameleon.

142
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: You know.

143
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: I've been part of certain conversations where I'm not by

144
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: the people that are there. You know, I'm not seeing

145
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: as a black or as Afro Latina. So the kind

146
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: of little nuances that I pick up on make it

147
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 4: clear that, you know, if they don't know, and it

148
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like they're receptive to knowing either.

149
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: We deserve a little breaking break. All right, let's take

150
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: a break.

151
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Even though you might not win the battle, you could

152
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: certainly start the revolution by the questions that you're asking,

153
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: you know. So, I mean sometimes I think we feel

154
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: like we have to do the whole war. Like I

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: had a conversation today with a woman who was just like,

156
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: there's so much to be done, and we got to

157
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: do this, we got to do that. And I'm like,

158
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have to do all that

159
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: because it's been doing, you know, but these are fifteen

160
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: years helped a lot of black women. It might be

161
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: time to pass the baton, like, I don't have to

162
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: see it through all the way to the end that

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: you know that. I think we're all tasked to just

164
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: do what we're here to do. And you know it's

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: not likely to your point, you're going to win the

166
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: whole war. But the fact you're even bringing it up

167
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: is a good start. But the question about refilling your cup,

168
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, there are there Black Nurses Associations or Latina

169
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: Nurses Association that you can join because that's always a

170
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: really great place where you could feel seen and heard,

171
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: and they're probably going to offer like my mom.

172
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: Was a nurse for I don't even know thirty forty years.

173
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, they can offer resources, and they could also

174
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: offer suggestions, you know, or just even power and might

175
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: behind like oh girl, girl, you know, thanks lend us.

176
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: So we're going to roll up and say something, you know,

177
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: And so it's not for you to fight alone by yourself.

178
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of you for having the initial conversation,

179
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: but get your backup. You know that you're not in

180
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: this by yourself because there are a lot of black

181
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: and brown nurses and at the end of the day,

182
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: you know, nurses are all it have been and still

183
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: are in super high demand and so you know, you know,

184
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: your voice is not as your voice is stronger than

185
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: maybe even realize.

186
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you said that because I can feel

187
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: the weight on you, like you really feel like, I mean,

188
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: there's this huge it is a it's systemic, and it's

189
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: so much bigger than you are. But are those those

190
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: organizations like do you do you feel like you have

191
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: a community? Do you are you able to lean on

192
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: other black and brown nurses, like find your tribe?

193
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: I'm starting to.

194
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: I'm reaching outside of you know, the immediate community that

195
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: I have, and I you know, I found some and

196
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: you know, we have had those conversations, you know, like

197
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 4: we come in and we see staff in dis apartment

198
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 4: and this apartment they're black, and then it's less and less.

199
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: As you get higher.

200
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 4: So it was nice to hear that I'm not by myself.

201
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know it's no let's roll up like

202
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: that's like you said, I'll do some more outreach. And

203
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: because I get like, you're right, they.

204
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 5: Are out here.

205
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: I graduated with them, I was inspired by them.

206
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: And now where'd they go? I want to know, I'd

207
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: be like where y'all at? And is it good over there?

208
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: Because we talk. Yes, they'll let you know where the

209
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: good good is. They'll be like, yeah, come over here.

210
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: Girls lit like they love us here like.

211
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: For fine organists.

212
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: Because my mother was part of a black nurse's organization

213
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. That's why I shared that, you know,

214
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: And so.

215
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: I was part of a National Association of Black journalists

216
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: for the first ten years of my career.

217
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are organizations specifically for that. So you know,

218
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: she didn't have to go it alone because it wasn't

219
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: easy for her either. She's also part of I think a

220
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Nigerian nurses association.

221
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: Girl. They got association for everything, you know.

222
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure they got for Latino one exactly.

223
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 5: I need to work with a group that nows is.

224
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to watch and go. It's day one.

225
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 4: Don't touch it, you know. So you know, hopefully i'll

226
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: get there. But and then you know, once I do

227
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 4: get there, I'll make it a point to pull everyone

228
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: else with because as much as I would love to

229
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: be in a room where those decisions are made, I'm

230
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: not made for politics.

231
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't have it in me.

232
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: I just now A lot of women tell me that

233
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: you never know because you asked, what do you do

234
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: to heal yourself and refaill your cup? And one of

235
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: the best things for me was working to get into

236
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: a leadership role so I could hire more of us.

237
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: And it didn't take you know, sometimes it doesn't take

238
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: as much work and as many politics. If you find

239
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: the right company or the right fit, you can do it.

240
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: But like even if you can get closer to that

241
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: decision making table just so that you can be at it,

242
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: like you can have impact fright where you are. And

243
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: like Tiffany was saying, hey, did I change the fact

244
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: that there's you know, very few people of color at

245
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: the top in fintech? No, but I sure did hire

246
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: you know, over a dozen bipop staff while I was

247
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: there to make sure they got great raises and I

248
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: was able to care and put you know, fix wage

249
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: gaps and things like that. And I feel really proud

250
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: of that. And I think that if we, just, like

251
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: Tiffany said, focus on what you can do and what

252
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: power you have, take some of the weight off of

253
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: the world and just remind yourself you're doing the best

254
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: you can. You're only one person.
