I wanted to share something really personal with you—my keynote presentation from the AWHONN Convention in Orlando, FL. In this talk, I open up about two moments that completely changed my life: being banned from donating blood in nursing school for being gay, and having my first panic attack after a long shift in the ICU.
These moments could’ve broken me. But instead, they lit a fire. One pushed me to start Banned4Life and help lift the FDA’s gay blood ban. The other led me to create my Nurse Blake social media accounts as a way to share my story & overcome burnout.
Life gives us moments—some beautiful, some painful, some totally unexpected. My hope is that as you listen, you’ll look at your own defining moments and realize: they don’t have to hold you back. You have the power to take them, shape them, and turn them into something meaningful.
