“I promised them I would be there”
Cultural health navigators (CHNs) are one type of community health worker (CHW), a front-line cadre critical to mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic among marginalized communities. Yet little is documented about the roles of CHNs serving resettled refugees both before and during the pandemic. The objective of this study was to examine shifts in how CHNs carried out their work with refugee patients at a particular time point in the COVID-19 pandemic. …
Using Cultural Variance Framework to Promote Vaccine Confidence among African Americans

This qualitative study seeks to fill…
“If You Don’t Have the Heart to Help, You Cannot Do This Job”
Community health workers are members of two groups whose short- and long-term health has been uniquely shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic: health workers and the oft-marginalized populations that they serve. Yet, their wellbeing, particularly of those serving resettled refugees, before and during the pandemic has been largely overlooked. Drawing from a holistic conceptualization of wellness, this study examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic o…

This qualitative content analysis explores COVID-19 news coverage from three purposely selected Black newspapers, paying particular attention to descriptions …

In 2020, healthcare workers faced the COVID-19 pandemic amidst other salient sociopolitical stressors. This study, therefore, set out to examine associations between personal, work-related and contextual factors and three outcomes - stress, burnout and turnover intention - at a critical juncture in the pandemic. In December 2020, we recruited a broad array of healthcare workers (n = 985) in a public safety net healthcare system serving socially a…
Remembering a Zenith
Sister-girl Talk
Leveraging ground-breaking work of Black feminist scholars alongside established techniques of focus group and community-based participatory research, we explain sister-girl talk as a novel method for collecting and analyzing group interview data with Black women. We outline the procedures for consultation, facilitation and preliminary analysis of the sister-girl talk method

Black Men's Perceptions and Knowledge of Diabetes
A Visitation from the Foremothers
The performative ... is a cultural act, a critical perspective, a political intervention. --John Kronik, Editor's Note, PMLA Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes 'the practice of freedom,' the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to pa…

A Black Woman as Rhetorical Critic
This essay explores a Black woman rhetorical critic's search to re-cover Black women's rhetorical traditions in America, which centers Black women's epistemology in a rhetoric of survival. A Black woman rhetorical critic locates self and violates the space of otherness through an African-American women's rhetorical tradition that endorses an ethic of care, dialogue for a meaning-making partnership, and a vision of unity in humanity. Hence, a Blac…
