2026 Black Nurses Week ConferenceRestoring What’s Owed: Legacy, Reparations, and the Future of Black Nursing
📍 Hyatt Regency | Tulsa, Oklahoma
🗓 July 30 – August 1, 2026
Not another event.
A room with purpose.
This is where Black nurses come to be real about what this profession has required of us…
and intentional about what we build next.
No code switching.
No performing.
No surface-level conversations.
Just truth, strategy, and alignment.
What You’ll Experience

✨ Reclaiming What’s Owed
Ownership, AI, and building collective wealth beyond the bedside.
✨ Living Legacy
Bearing witness to history and what it means to carry it forward.
✨ The Black Wall Street Experience
A guided visit to Greenwood Rising. Not just history… context for what we build next.
✨ The BNW Signature Experience
An intentional evening centered around culture, connection, and Black nurse joy.
✨ Legacy in Practice Workshop
Document your impact, your experiences, and your professional story in a way that lasts.
Why Tulsa Matters
Tulsa’s Greenwood District was once one of the most prosperous Black communities in America.
Black nurses, doctors, and leaders built hospitals, clinics, businesses, and systems of care without permission.
It wasn’t given.
It was built.
That legacy was attacked.
But the blueprint was never lost.
It lives in us.
We are gathering on sacred ground to:
✨ Remember what was built
✨ Reconnect to what’s possible
✨ Restore what’s owed in how we lead, earn, and practice today
Who Needs to Be in the Room
This is for you if:
✨ You’re tired of being the only one in the room
✨ You feel the emotional tax, burnout, and moral distress
✨ You know you’re called to more, even if you don’t have the title yet
✨ You’re ready to move from survival to strategy
✨ You want to be in a room where you don’t have to explain yourself
For student nurses and new grads:
✨ If you don’t just want mentorship
✨ You want access, direction, and community
This Is the Shift
You can keep navigating this alone.
Or you can be in a room where:
you’re seen,
you’re heard,
and you’re building something bigger than your current role.
Be in the room.
