Historically, Black women have experienced multiple adversities due to gendered racism. While research demonstrates that gendered racism is associated with negative physical and mental health implications, little attention has been given to how being Black and female shape Black women’s experiences in multiple contexts. This study provided an opportunity for Black women to describe their lived experiences of gendered racism in the United States. We conducted in-depth interviews with Black women (N = 22) between the ages of 18 and 69 years. We applied a thematic analysis approach to data analysis. Three themes were identified that underscored how these Black women navigated gendered racism: (a) navigating societal expectations of being Black and female, (b) navigating relationships (or lack thereof), and (c) navigating lack of resources and limited opportunities. Findings from this study provide an increased understanding of the unique challenges that Black women face because of their subordinated statuses in the United States. These findings may influence programs and assessments for Black women’s wellness.

黑人女性生活中的性别种族主义：定性探索

从历史上看，由于性别种族主义，黑人女性经历了多次逆境。虽然研究表明性别种族主义与负面的身心健康影响有关，但很少有人关注黑人和女性如何在多种情况下塑造黑人女性的经历。这项研究为黑人女性提供了一个机会来描述她们在美国的性别种族主义的生活经历。我们对 18 至 69 岁的黑人女性（N = 22）进行了深入访谈。我们将主题分析方法应用于数据分析。确定了三个主题，强调了这些黑人女性如何应对性别种族主义：(a) 应对社会对黑人和女性的期望，(b) 应对关系（或缺乏关系），(c) 解决资源短缺和机会有限的问题。这项研究的结果加深​​了对黑人女性因其在美国的从属地位而面临的独特挑战的理解。这些发现可能会影响黑人女性健康的计划和评估。
