Talonda S Rogers

Talonda S. Rogers is a nurse consultant, speaker, author, and nurse educator. She has a Master of Science in Nursing Education degree from West Chester University in Pennsylvania. Before entering the healthcare field, Talonda received a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from West Chester University. Talonda works for the same program where she started her career as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) back in 2007. She is the founder of RISCQ by TALONDA Healthcare Consultants & Educators, LLC. RISCQ is a business focused on decreasing healthcare disparities in the United States through education.

Talonda has a deep desire to make a difference in the high maternal mortality death rate in the United States because she has the first-hand experience suffering the loss of her first-born. Statistics show that most of these deaths are preventable and that many are because women of color aren't listened to. Her signature speech L.I.S.T.E.N has been an eye-opener for medical professionals, nurse educators, and healthcare students all over the state of Pennsylvania.

Talonda is also the founder and leader of LOVED (Ladies of Value Encouragement & Determination). LOVED is a women's group that supports and uplifts women's issues in her community in the great state of Pennsylvania and across the states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, and the group is still growing. She loves to reiterate "There is more that unites us than divides us."

When not focusing on "all things nursing" or growing her women's group, Talonda enjoys spending quiet time with her family. For more information about Talonda's projects please visit her website at www.riscqhealthcare.com
