NMA Co-founder Dr. Em Rabelais recently appeared on the podcast, #TransAndCaffeinated with host Arielle Rebekah to discuss white feminist violence in nursing: “Em Rabelais is the white, disabled, queer, trans feminine, and non-binary ethicist, nurse, scholar, white feminism dismantler, and potential kept themmebian you never knew you needed. Until now. WHOOO that was a mouthful. As an academic, their scholarship is rooted in disrupting and dismantling white supremacy in nursing—but Em’s work doesn’t end there. They are deeply committed to pushing back against all forms of oppression, including the rampant ableism and transmisogyny they regularly endure. Em has no desire to play nice with oppressors—they know that the nursing status quo of niceness and civility have not changed anything. Instead, they are intense, intentional, and direct as they push back against oppressive systems designed to harm marginalized and minoritized groups and individuals—even when their methods result in immense personal backlash. This episode mentions sexual assault, white feminism and white supremacy, racism, transmisogyny, and ableism.”

From the RN-Mentor Podcast with Dr. Ali R. Tayyeb:
“As Nurses across the nation face canceled conferences during the COVID19 pandemic, the time spent on making those posters, preparing those podium presentations, power points, the research, publications to be shared and discuss with colleagues all took a grim turn as everyone suddenly realized they can no longer gather with their colleagues. However, this did not stop a group of nurse leaders from across the United States to collaborate their efforts toward a virtual platform and organize the Nursing Mutual Aid 2020 #NMA2020 conference on Twitter for 30 April 2020. The guest for this podcast are two of the #NMA2020 organizers Dr. Rachel Walker @UMassWalker and Dr. Anna Valdez @drannamvaldez.”
