Similarly, prejudice based on several social variables, including race and gender, has been with us for generations, not only in the United States but globally. It is this foundation of disability, gender, and race that guided a young doctoral student to one of the first National Association of Multicultural Rehabilitation Concerns (NAMRC) conferences back in 1996. It is within this backdrop that excerpts from two interviews conducted at the conference highlight that the more things change, the more they stay the same relative to the outcomes of Blacks with disabilities in the United States. People with disabilities who are Black continue to encounter similar barriers today, not only in the vocational rehabilitation (VR) system but outside VR as well. Brief solutions will be offered to facilitate services for Blacks with disabilities. It was also interesting that questions revealed similar responses from Drs. Walker and McConnell. On a personal note, as we prepared to finalize this manuscript for the Black disability special issue, we learned of the passing of Dr. Bobbie J. Atkins, one of the icons in the VR field. We will pay tribute to this trail-blazing teacher, researcher, and mentor to many. Because of Dr. Atkins's sacrifices, many of us who write about race, gender, and other social variables in VR were allowed to communicate our true thoughts and perceptions through her voice and advocacy for Blacks with disabilities. Thank you for a legacy to remember.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development","volume":"53 3","pages":"111-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144671989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Black Americans With Disabilities: A Focus on Solutions and Culturally Responsive Services and Interventions","authors":"Keith B.

People with disabilities continue to face both overt and covert discrimination worldwide, and they represent the largest underrepresented group in the United States. Correct! They are the largest underrepresented (marginalized) group in the United States. When race is attached to people with disabilities, there is more discrimination and mistreatment when compared with other races with disabilities. Bailey and Mobley reported that race is even more pronounced when you look at the data that highlight that Blacks with disabilities are more likely to have a disability than Whites, Latinxs, and Asians. There are many reasons for this discrepancy in disability: (1) Blacks tend to be overrepresented in manual labor jobs—higher risk of injury. (2) Blacks tend to earn less and live in poverty, and the probability that food choices and diet are not adequate. Disabilities intersect with various social variables, including race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. Research consistently highlights the disproportionately adverse outcomes for Black individuals with disabilities compared to other racial groups. The intersection of being Black and having a disability must be acknowledged, especially when considering both the statistics and the personal narratives that reveal the ongoing discriminatory behavior faced by Black people with disabilities. For example, Wilson and Senices investigated the vocational rehabilitation (VR) acceptance rates among Latinx with disabilities, examining both their ethnicity and race. They found that Black Latinx had similar outcomes to African Americans in the VR system. Specifically, Black Latinos and African Americans with disabilities were less likely to be accepted for services in the VR system compared to White Latinos with disabilities. In addressing issues with Blacks with disabilities, recommendations to address systems and structures that lead to more understanding and resolutions are highlighted in every article. Understanding this context is crucial for delivering culturally responsive and appropriate services and interventions for Blacks with disabilities.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development","volume":"53 3","pages":"108-110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144672862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SWS framework guided this study and highlighted unique factors that contributed to the help-seeking behaviors of Black women. The following three questions directed this investigation: Do Black women associate with the SWS?; What is the essence of the lived experience for Black women with MS?; and What challenges do Black women with MS experience regarding maintaining role obligations of SWS and the development of a disability identity? Implications of these findings suggest that SWS, typically characterized as having negative psychological ramifications, can serve as a source of empowerment with Black women facing a life-changing disability.

Guided by disability critical race theory (DisCrit), this report explored the prevalence of disability among Black women who were self-employed in the United States and explored the relationship between disability status and income. We analyzed the responses of 91 Black women with disability found in the Household Pulse Survey data collected between August 20 and September 16, 2024. For the epidemiological descriptive statistics, we computed weighted precents, which allows us to represent the estimated national prevalence of demographic characteristics for Black adult women in the United States who were self-employed at the time the data were collected. The ordinal logistic regression model assessed income differences by disability status. Findings indicated that 43.9% of self-employed Black women had at least one disability, 66.9% experienced a mental health condition, 27% had visual impairments, 11.8% had mobility, and 11.3% had auditory disabilities. The regression analysis indicated there was no statistically significant relationship between income and disability status except for increased income being associated with the presence of “worry.” Furthermore, this report provides preliminary insight into Black women with disabilities engaging in self-employment.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development","volume":"53 3","pages":"169-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144672720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
