Celebrating Black History Month at LHSC feat. Naomi Esume

Naomi Esume explored many career options before deciding to become a nurse. After completing high school in Nigeria at the age of 14, she came to understand her personal strengths included working with people, listening to their needs, and caring for them.
It was clear that Naomi was destined for a career in health care, but she was unsure of which path to follow. When she met with a career advisor, Naomi was encouraged to take post-secondary courses that enabled her to explore career options and narrow down the choices.
Now, as a Registered Nurse on LHSC's Nursing Resource Team, Naomi enjoys the unique challenges that each day brings. Her previous work as a Black Health Navigator has had a significant impact on the patients and families in her care and has helped the organization advance safer and more inclusive spaces for Black individuals.
