Dr. Lydia Wytenbroek (Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing), doctoral student Ismalia De Sousa and BSN students Tamasha Hussein, Kelly Nguyen, Ariel Tzu-Han Chiao, Brandon Moeller and Merielle Moffatt varied out a Black History Month project that included a curated physical display, a virtual “walk through” of the display (recorded), and a 55 page flipbook (see below). We hope that these resources will encourage our audience to take a deep dive into the significant contributions of Black Nurses in Canada and across the world who paved the way to a better healthcare. We encourage self-reflection on how historical events and the professionalization of nursing have contributed to current health and social inequities.

Display: We organized a display in the School of Nursing (in front of the administrative offices). The display was available starting on February 4, and remained on exhibit for a couple of months.

Virtual “Walk Through” of Display: A one-hour virtual “walk-through” of the display was offered on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 from 12 – 1 pm.
