I am beyond thankful for the Ann Arbor National Black Nurses Association. What started as a dream five years ago has grown into a powerful reality—76 members strong and continuing to grow!

Today, we are actively serving our community, uplifting one another, and giving away nursing scholarships to support the next generation of nurses. Seeing this vision come to life is truly humbling and fills my heart with gratitude.

Thankful for every member, every supporter, and every life we are able to touch. This is only the beginning. 💙🩺

Your president,
Dr. Latoya freeman
