You are in for a treat.
In this episode of The Black Woman in the Corner Office, I’m chopping it up with the powerhouse herself — Dr. Nutrena Tate. This woman’s résumé? Longer than CVS receipts. She’s a nurse practitioner, professor, researcher, leader, and entrepreneur — and yes, she does it all with style.

We go way beyond “nursing at the bedside” and dive into what it really looks like to build a career, a business, and a legacy while keeping your sanity intact. From being the majority kid in Detroit to facing racism head-on at the University of Michigan, Dr. Tate didn’t just bounce back — she bounced forward.

We talk:

  • Building your personal board of directors (because you need more than just hype-women, you need wise-women).
  • Why self-confidence is cute, but asking for help is essential.
  • How to care for your soul, not just your title.
  • What it looks like to stop standing in your own way.
  • And yes, that unforgettable bra-off moment every woman knows. 🙌🏾

This episode is about resilience, soul care, and the audacity to say: I’m gonna make space for me and leave the door wide open for the women coming behind me.

So grab your coffee, your tea, or your glass of wine (no judgment here), and let’s talk about leveling up, leaning into legacy, and laughing at life along the way.
