Two N.C. A&T Health Leaders to Address Black Maternal Health with April 13 Event

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (April 11, 2026) – Two North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University health leaders are contributing to statewide efforts to address disparities in Black maternal health.

Tiffany Morris, DNP, MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE, and Victoria Revelle ’11, MPH, will participate in a Black Maternal Health Week webinar focused on the issue Monday, April 13.

The Women, Infant and Community Wellness Section within the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Public Health will host the webinar featuring Morris, nursing director and Clara Adams Endowed Professor for North Carolina A&T’s School of Nursing (SON). Revelle, a nationally recognized public health practitioner, will moderate the session.

“Webinars, discussions, equitable policies, systems and services are imperative in designing solution-oriented strategies which reduce disparities and advance Black maternal health,” said Revelle.

This webinar will create “cross-sector dialogue” on advancing Black maternal health surrounding the nationally recognized Black Maternal Health Week, founded by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance. This week-long campaign is designed to build awareness, inspire activism and use community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black mothers.

Morris will highlight the role of the SON in advancing community-centered care and workforce development, as well as its mobile care units, which expand clinical training opportunities for students while increasing access to care in underserved communities.

Morris brings more than 30 years of experience in nursing leadership, education, research and practice, and previously served A&T as a clinical assistant professor and interim dean. Most recently, she was an associate professor and founding department chair of the nursing program at Elon University.

Morris holds degrees from the University of Virginia and Grand Canyon University and focuses her research on health disparities, particularly end-of-life care among African Americans. A member of several professional nursing organizations, she has received honors including the 2022 Nurse Leader of the Year award from the Carolina Nurses League and remains committed to advancing health equity and nursing education. Since being the director of nursing, Morris has launched many initiatives to advance the SON, equip the students and serve the community.

Revelle is a national award-winning public health strategist with experience at the international, national, state and local levels. A Congressional Recognition recipient and Ronald McNair Scholar, she has held leadership roles across government, including at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where she supported COVID-19 response efforts and co-developed a virtual recruitment initiative connecting historically Black college and university students and graduates to public health careers.

Revelle continues a family legacy of public health service and has been recognized by national organizations, including the American Public Health Association. She was named an A&T Distinguished Alumna in 2020 and remains committed to advancing the next generation through mentorship, research and public engagement.

The webinar will bring together community, medical and academic leaders to discuss strategies to improve Black maternal health outcomes and spread awareness of such disparities in North Carolina and beyond.

The webinar is free and open to the public. Registration can be found here.
