Welcome back to Nurses with Voices! I'm your host, Dr. Lendra James, and I'm thrilled to kick off Season 2 with you. This season, we're transitioning from solely focusing on nurse leaders and entrepreneurs to also include the vital voices of our frontline nurses. These are the unsung heroes navigating daily healthcare challenges right at the bedside.

You'll also hear about our exciting upcoming event, the Health and Wealth Expo: Live Summit, plus my recent experiences at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference.
