When Kenna met Solomon

When Kenna looked to fill a hospice nursing position, Solomon’s name kept coming up. Not having a way to make contact, she did a Google search and discovered Solomon is a transgender person. After some self-reflection and a reality check on her anxieties – Oh, no! The single-stall bathrooms were labeled male and female! – Kenna made one of the best hiring decisions of her career.
