Black-History-Health-Workers
MONTREAL -- When 26-year-old nurse Stephanie Bumba looks at herself in the mirror wearing her uniform, she feels pride and sees a past she wants to honour. The overrepresentation of Black women in health care is a reflection of the values and culture of Black people, according to Bumba and other members of Quebec's Black community.
