🎉 National Black Researchers Week continues! 🎉

Your writing is more than a publication requirement... it is part of your legacy. This interactive workshop helps researchers reconnect with the power, purpose, and impact of their words while developing a personal Manuscript Manifesto to guide their writing journey. We’ll talk authorship, visibility, citation politics, and why citing Black researchers matters.

Meet tonight's speaker: Chioma Nnaji, MPH, MEd. She is a public health leader, facilitator, and manuscript coach with more than 25 years of experience at the intersection of public health, racial justice, and immigrant rights. She began her career as a Community Health Worker in the HIV field and advanced into senior leadership roles within community-based organizations and academic institutions.
