CDC’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (OMHHE) is proud to present a new 2-part blog series on gendered racism<https://blogs.cdc.gov/healthequity/>. Authored by OMHHE’s Desmond Banks, MPH, PhD and Shanice Battle, MPH, PhD, these blogs focus on gendered racism from the perspective of a Black man and Black woman. Each blog shares existing inequities and the impact gendered racism has on the health and well-being of Black women and men.
