"I come from a long line of care workers," said Asantweaa Boykin, a RN at UC Davis.
"Being born in this particular body, black and a woman, I know what it's like to be invisible. I take pride being that person that sees my patient, like in their totality. Not just what's ailing them at this time," said Boykin.
