Abstract
In summer 2020, COVID-19 laid bare social determinants contributing to disproportional African-American death rates,1 and #BlackLivesMatter protests decried police brutality and systematic racism that continue to exert daily pressure on African American lives.2 These twin forces resulted in renewed commitment to health equity and criminal justice reform within the medical community.3 Microaggressions including “microinvalidation”—the denial of racialized experiences of people of color—may more profoundly impact racial anger, frustration, and self-confidence than overt forms of racism.4 Furthermore, denial of racism prevents team members from realizing and confronting their role in causing traumatic reactions or perpetuating disparities.5
