BRITNEY DANIELS IN THE PRESS
In her Prologue to Journal of a Black Queer Nurse, Britney Daniels tells readers that the book is “the story of a Black, masculine-presenting, tattooed lesbian and her head-first crusade into the nursing world, the COVID-19 pandemic, and oppression.”
And, of course, it is. But it is also a personal tale of overcoming poverty and confronting racism while simultaneously naming the many flaws in the U.S. health-care system. Daniels is a keen observer, and her description of the ways patients fall through cracks created by classism, homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia is riveting. What’s more, her outrage is palpable, strengthened by examples of the condescension and disregard both patients and staff of color routinely experience.
