I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Dunkley's research presentation on "The Lived Experience of Being Black and Female when becoming a Nurse Executive" at the 2019 Nursing Research Conference during Nurse Week at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn, New York. Her research on this topic was not only interesting and informative but shocking to know that for the last 20 years white nurses have continued to dominate the profession of nurse leaders. Dr. Dunkley pointed out that only 8% of Black females participants occupy Chief Executive Officer positions. Her presentation spoke out to many of us in the audience, implicating the lack of minority nurses and the underrepresentation of Black nurses in positions of Leadership. Dr. Dunkley had us at the end of our seats wanting to hear more! Great research presentation!
