Minority hygienists

Dear RDH,

I enjoy reading your magazine each month. Your articles are very interesting and informative. But I have a question to address: I am wondering about our minority hygienists, particularly black hygienists.

I am a black hygienist who is currently working for an office. I love my job, but, when I graduated, there was only myself and one other black hygienist. I`m asking you to include, if you can, in your magazine articles about other minority hygienists that are successfully working and the things that they are doing.

Other ladies in my office are asking: Why aren`t there more minority women entering into this career. Please let me know, or include in your magazine articles, about other hygienists like me.
