Common-Unity: A Conversation with Kim Scott

“If we start to think about what we have in common and how we can help each other out, we’re gonna only be stronger as a community.”

— Kim Scott

SUMMARY

In this BlackFemaleProject Podcast episode, Kim Scott joins guest host Leslie Stoval. Leslie guides Kim through a reflection on her journey from the Bay Area to the Pacific Northwest and back. Kim shares what inspired her to get into nursing, how she serves as an advocate for others in the profession, and the importance of balancing her drive and commitment with taking time to slow down.The third season of BlackFemaleProject's podcast takes a deep and broad dive into the Health Services sector.

Episodes 1 through 3 offer insights from three Black women with careers in the medical realm, followed by three episodes that feature Black women who center social responsibility in their paths. Our final trio of season 3 lifts up the wisdom and journeys of Black women who operate with a holistic perspective. We hope you enjoy the distinctions and commonalities across these dynamic and accomplished women's experiences.
