The Nocturnists: Black Voices in HealthcareAfter the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, we launched a new audio storytelling series called “Black Voices in Healthcare”, hosted by Ashley McMullen, MD and executive produced by Kimberly Manning, MD.
The idea behind the project is this: Stories are powerful. They can be used to erase, simplify, dehumanize, and subjugate. But they can also be used to empower, demystify, create empathy, and remind us of the beautiful, messy humanity that binds us to each other. If people in healthcare are going to engage each other in honest, vulnerable conversation about race and racism, fostering these gut-level connections is essential.
