Black Nurse Invented Home Security
"Before ring cameras and voice-activated locks became trendy, there was a Black nurse in Queens who looked danger in the eye and built a system to keep her family safe. She didn’t have a tech lab. She didn’t wear a hoodie at a startup. She had vision. She had urgency. And her name was Marie Van Brittan Brown." Lucky, The Educator
Her invention protects lives to this day—yet her legacy remains locked outside the doors she helped secure. This episode, we give her what history withheld: Umklomelo = Honor.
