Objective: To describe and analyze the theoretical and methodological frameworks available to occupational therapy practitioners who provide services to Black populations.

Black women remain markedly underrepresented in academic nursing-particularly in tenure-track and leadership roles-and their contributions are often overshadowed by persistent inequities in advancement, recognition, and compensation, compounded by the emotional and cultural labor required to navigate predominantly White institutions. Guided by Critical Race Theory and intersectionality, this narrative inquiry explored how 32 Black women faculty and academic leaders experience systemic underrepresentation and construct professional identity. Data were subjected to reflexive thematic analysis, yielding six interlocking themes: the burdens of representation; navigating undervaluation in academia; confronting stereotypes, exclusion, and racialized labor; institutional isolation and structural neglect; emotional exhaustion and the cost of survival; and identity negotiation and resilience as survival work.

There is a growing literature that seeks to understand Black women/birthing people's postpartum experiences, particularly in the context of structural, political and historical exclusion of Black people in the United States. The overarching goals of this manuscript were to explore Black women's postpartum experiences, how racism impacts the postpartum year, and for those insights to reimagine a model of postpartum care that enables Black birthing people to achieve that vision of wellness. We conducted four focus groups with 23 self-identified Black women in the Washington DC metropolitan area who had given birth in the prior two years.

As First Nations public health professionals, we critically examine the National Preventive Health Strategy 2021-2030 (NPHS) and its shortcomings in addressing the structural determinants of health inequities affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (hereafter respectfully, First Nations peoples). Although the NPHS aspires to a systems-based and equitable approach, we argue that it fails to meaningfully engage with the enduring impacts of colonisation, systemic racism, and intergenerational trauma. By focusing predominantly on individual behavioural risk factors, the strategy neglects the broader sociopolitical and cultural contexts that continue to drive poorer health outcomes in our communities.
