What Hygienists Are Saying

“I met Martelle/BGRDH when I was considering leaving the dental industry. She/BGRDH is that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Ive watched her/BGRDH be led by GOD & LIFE; and every step she/BGRDH has surrounded herself/BGRDH with people, resources and experiences that make our lives happier and healthier. I'm richer in my dental hygiene spirit because the conferences set a foundation for my path and journey. Each conference and post interaction, I've gain more respect, compassion and wisdom for how SHE illuminates the LOVE every BROWN GIRL NEEDS!!! ”

—Sabrina Smith, RDH

“I’ve had the privilege of attending five BrownGirl RDH Conferences, and every single one has been an incredible experience. The energy in the room is unmatched a powerful mix of learning, empowerment, and genuine support among hygienists. As a hygienist, entrepreneur, and someone passionate about growing our profession, I always leave these conferences inspired, educated, and connected with amazing clinicians from across the country. It’s also great to see the growing community of “Guygienists” showing up and being welcomed into the space. BrownGirl RDH continues to create a platform where hygienists can learn, grow, and celebrate each other. Proud to be part of this community and looking forward to the next one!”

— Morris Mugo, RDH

“I've attended several BrownGirl RDH conferences and loved it so much it urged me to become a volunteer to contribute to the movement. I love the community and connection the conferences bring. Being in a room with people who are similar to me, sharing stories and experiences is amazing. It just goes to show how much we are not alone, in a career where minorities are far and few between. And I love how BrownGirl RDH conferences brings together so much Black Excellence. The people you meet are inspiring and a lot can be learned just by networking! ”

— Briana Taylor RDH
