Episode five features Ashley Zephrin, RN, an Emergency Room Nurse with over 17 years of experience. Nurse Zephrin discusses her journey with textured hair as a travel nurse across the U.S., which is still an isolating feeling in some parts of the country. As a nursing manager, she also talks about how she uses her intersectionality in leadership positions to prepare other minorities in the medical field to continue to shattering stereotypes. Additionally, she discusses unchanged stereotypes for Black women in the medical field and emerging policies, such as prohibiting eyelash extensions, that appear to target minorities. She also offers practical advice on how to remain authentic and navigate the nursing field as a Black woman despite its unique challenges.
