I am so grateful to be honored as a recipient of the inaugural Equity-Minded Nurse Awards from the AARP Center for Health Equity Through NursingSM and the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, an initiative of AARP Foundation, AARP and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation!
I can remember reading this book as a student nurse and new RN… completely in love with all things infant feeding and infant mental health and in awe of all the heavy hitters in this book. Flash forward to today and I can officially say that I am a co-author in said textbook!
Sitting here waiting on my parents to come pick me up so that we can go back to school shopping, then remembering that I’m “grown” and we don’t do that anymore.
If you don’t see how family separation and forced pregnancy are connected forms of state violence, notice how adoption is being promoted as the “solution” for both.
I’m so grateful for the networking opportunities that I had this past weekend, and am extremely thankful to have the opportunity to serve as one of the newest members of the Editorial Advisory Board for the prestigious nursing journal, JOGNN! I can’t wait to see what’s next! 💚
