Beyond Still Standing@ is a weekly podcast dedicated to advocating for Black nurses and defending the rights of Black women. Hosted by D. Michele Jackson — known as the Politically Active Nurse — this show explores the policies, protections, and legislative changes needed to keep Black women safe in healthcare and beyond.
Each Thursday, the new ladies’ night, we confront the realities Black nurses face, examine the gaps in current laws, and discuss the reforms necessary to protect our work, our voices, and our lives. This is a space for truth, empowerment, and collective action.
If you are a nurse, a woman, or someone committed to justice, you are in the right place.

Rooted in James 5 and the call of God to defend the vulnerable, this episode exposes the systems that exploit Black women while denying their worth. Donna weaves together history, policy, nursing insight, and the story of one woman whose life and death reveal the truth: America has benefited from Black women while refusing to protect them.
This is a season of completion. A season of truth‑telling. A season of reclaiming dignity.
Through prayer, Scripture, and prophetic clarity, this episode declares what God has always known: Her life had value.

This episode marks the shift from surviving to moving. In Season 2, we step into the restoration of the daughters — not just in heart, but in action. “Love in Motion” explores what it means to rise, to heal, and to walk out the assignment God placed in us with intention, clarity, and courage. This message is for every daughter who has stood through storms and is now being called to move into her next season with power.

This episode is a tribute to the Black mothers who carried us through storms they never caused, held families together with strength the world took for granted, and poured out love even when they were running on empty. This message honors their labor, their legacy, their prayers, and the quiet sacrifices that shaped generations. May every Black mother listening feel seen, valued, and lifted.
