Dr. King once said, “?????? ???????????????? ???? ?????????????????? ???? ???? ?????????? ?????? ???? ?????????? ?????????????????????? ?????? ???? ?????????? ????????????????????. ???????????????????????? ???????? ??????????????????—???????? ???? ?????? ???????? ???? ???????? ??????????????????.” In our roles, we shape not just future nurses but also future leaders, advocates, and change agents in healthcare. We have the power to: ?? Foster inclusive learning environments where diversity thrives. ?? Empower our students to champion equity and compassion in care delivery. ??? Equip them with the skills and mindset to dismantle health disparities and advance social justice. On this day, let us recommit to ensuring that the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just ideals but daily practices in our classrooms, clinical settings, and communities.
