Born and raised in Madison, WI, Jessi Evans Kendall is a bedside nurse and a diversity and cultural congruence resource nurse at UW Health. Earlier this year, Jessi was named as one of Madison’s top nurses and received the Top Nurses 2022 Leadership Award from Madison Magazine. Of her path towards nursing she says, “I didn’t originally think of myself as someone who could help others … I thought of myself as someone who needed help.” In this episode of Black Oxygen, Jessi talks about growing up in Madison, her experiences with depression, and the importance of Black nurses for patients and the health care system.
