The underrepresentation of Black men in nursing continues to pose a significant challenge to diversity and equity in healthcare leadership. While systemic barriers, such as implicit bias, limited access to advanced education, and lack of mentorship, have been well-documented, there is little literature that highlights the specific journeys of Black male nurse leaders and the strategies that facilitated their success. This oral history presents the narratives of five Black male nurse leaders who overcame obstacles and rose to influential positions within nursing. Through their personal accounts, this paper offers insights into the intersection of race, gender, and professional advancement in nursing. These stories emphasize the importance of mentorship, community support, and resilience in navigating both overt and subtle forms of discrimination. By reflecting on their unique experiences, the paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on diversity in nursing leadership and provide inspiration to future generations of minority nurses.

However, one crucial challenge of human-AI collaboration is that many AI algorithms operate in a black-box manner where the way how the AI makes predictions remains opaque. This makes it difficult for humans to validate a prediction made by AI against their own domain knowledge.
