This conference is for the black nurse who is looking to start a business, who is trying to connect and grow their business entity, or the black nurse who is in scaling mode and wants direction on how to invest in other monetary avenues to expand their portfolio.

We have created an environment that touches on every need of the black nurse entrepreneur from wellness to business practices.
