S5 EP 9 - The National Black Researchers Week Returns: Carrying Forward Our Legacy

In this episode of The Public Health Joy Podcast, Dr. Joyee Washington shares the deeply personal story behind National Black Researchers Week — why it was created, what it has meant to the community, and why she is committed to carrying it forward this year. This episode is about more than an event. It's about honoring the vision of someone who poured everything into making space for Black researchers, and making sure that vision does not die. In a season where so much has been taken, we are choosing to build, to gather, and to show up for one another.Key Points From This Episode:The origin and significance of National Black Researchers Week [00:32 – 08:30]Leonora O'Quara's legacy and impact [03:45 – 15:20]Community support and collaboration among Black researchers [15:20 – 23:00]If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate and, leave a review!
