Black Nurse Jailed for Self-Defense Against Coworker – Sybil Garbow’s Story

In this episode we cover the story of Sybil Garbow, a Black nurse with over 40 years of experience who was convicted of assault because of a racist coworker and a criminal justice system that hardly ever views Black women as victims. 

And we highlight two Black nursing leaders amplifying Sybil’s story and advocating for justice.
