Congratulations to MCU student Breana Espinoza, a recipient of NACPM’s annual Tanya Khemet Taiwo (TKT) Midwifery Student Scholarship.
The TKT Scholarship is an initiative to grow the number of Black and Indigenous midwives in the CPM workforce. More specifically, it provides $5,000 individual awards for tuition and related educational expenses to second- and third-year Black and Indigenous midwifery students enrolled in MEAC-accredited programs.
The Fund is a celebration of the legacy of Dr. Tanya Khemet Taiwo as NACPM’s longest-serving Black woman on its Board of Directors, as well as an exemplary community health innovator, epidemiologist, researcher, and midwifery educator.
Thank you to NACPM for providing this scholarship and impacting the growing of the midwifery workforce in this country!
