“…Contributing to the growing scholarship on the influences of hegemonic structure at the intersection of minoritized race and gender (Lewis, 2023), we provide new psychosocial and environmental contextualizations for researchers and child mental health professionals to consider in identifying risks for violence perpetration and victimhood among Black girls. This signals a need for models operationalized as outlined in Figure 1.…”

In recent years, there has been an increase in mental health struggles among Black girls, with concurrent increases in interpersonal violence in this group. However, there has been limited research into the structural, environmental, and psychosocial risk factors associated with these increases. A lack of understanding of these dynamics has left a gap in the implementation of targeted mental health and violence prevention/mitigation strategies for this sociomedically vulnerable population. Using semistructured interviews with staff at five high schools in the metropolitan Chicago area (n = 32), including teachers (n = 14), administrators (n = 9), and security officials (n = 9), we assessed perspectives on the mental health profiles and violence involvement of Black teen girls using abductive analysis and constant comparative methods. Respondents consistently indicated that violence was either more frequent among Black girls or felt more intractable, relative to (Black) males or other non-Black female students. Primary risk factors discussed included Black girls' recurrent exposure to neighborhood deprivation and limited psychosocial and institutional support. Black girls who perpetrate or are victims of violence face complex identity formation challenges that are amplified by mental health challenges resulting from broader racial and gendered structures. School and community-based interventions must consider the intersectional complexities that entrench mental illness and violence in this population as a clustered co-occurring phenomenon, focusing on structural and in-school supports and adult stakeholder trainings around implicit bias and cultural humility.

Normalized, dominant leadership styles favoring masculinity and aggressiveness disregard the impact of intersectional social identities and inequities on leadership practices and perpetuate leadership gaps and inequities in organizations, for example, preventing women and people of color from advancing into leadership roles. This study aims to explore how intersectionality plays a role in workplace leadership and propose a framework for future leadership research and practice that foregrounds intersectionality. To achieve this aim, this study systematically classified and reviewed 160 empirical studies on intersectionality in leadership in work and organization contexts. Most studies described the leadership experiences and strategies of individuals from multiple marginalized, historically excluded (MMHE) groups and the factors that influence their leadership. Some studies presented the intersectional effects of leadership and illuminated relational and contextual aspects of the leadership process. We discussed tensions within the findings and proposed a framework for intersectional leadership based on the results of the literature review. We conclude with a call for illuminating intersectional leadership as a promising process to achieve organizational social justice.
