“…Police brutality and other forms of structural racism can also take a toll on Black mothers, including those in the workplace, as anticipated negative police-youth encounters have been linked to depressive symptoms among pregnant Black women [ 37 , 38 ]. Furthermore, Black women are not exempt from racially toxic classrooms and gendered violence within higher education [ 39 ].…”

Black women faculty and administrators in the United States are tackling a force of socioeconomic and racial disparities, emotional tolls and invisible burdens within academia, political turmoil, social unrest, and public health crises. COVID-19 has added an additional layer related to work responsibilities, the overall well-being of Black women faculty and administrators and the diverse students they encounter, and management of work and home responsibilities. This paper discusses perspectives and evidence-based strategies regarding Black women faculty and administrators who navigate academia and teach during times of COVID-19 and social unrest. We also outline strategies for university leaders to mitigate cultural and racial gaps in the classroom or workplace and foster diversity and inclusion in academia.

“…Other perspectives have historically juxtaposed Black females as deviant in behavior and mannerisms and hypersexual among other socially undesirable undertones. For example, stereotypes such as the strong Black woman take the strength, resilience, and self-sacrificing nature that Black women have used as a survival mechanism to cope with race and gender marginalization and pervert these characteristics into nuanced sentiments that falsely indicate that Black women do not need or deserve to be protected from adverse events, experiences, and environments (Abrams et al, 2014;Collins, 2002;Harrington et al, 2010;Young & Hines, 2018).…”

Purpose: Few interventions focus on the unique developmental contexts specific to Black adolescent girls living in the United States. This article conducts a scoping review to identify interventions targeted at the well-being of Black adolescent girls. Method: The authors conducted a comprehensive search using electronic databases to identify peer-reviewed journal articles that center interventions to address the well-being of Black adolescent girls. Results: Of the 3,144 unique records identified, eight peer-reviewed articles met the criteria for inclusion. Most interventions focused on issues related to sexual health ( n = 4), followed by interventions focusing on enhancing cultural values ( n = 3), and obesity prevention ( n = 1). Four interventions were both culturally and gender-responsive, three interventions were primarily culturally responsive, and one intervention was primarily gender-responsive with all articles focusing on Black girls’ well-being. Discussion: More interventions are needed that center on the distinct and intersectional challenges and strengths that Black adolescent girls experience within society.

“…Faculty may begin to experience more toxic relationships on campus as their status changes. Young and Hines (2018) liken toxic campus cultures to spirit killers. Academic pipeline programs are designed for and can be leveraged by postdoctoral scholars and faculty to provide strategies for empowerment and encouragement to overcome these elements of college/university environments.…”
