More than 35 years ago, Black Feminist Scholar Audre Lorde (1984) addressed the imperative to challenge dominant epistemological frames and methods. The “standard tools” by which most disciplines, including gerontology, have built knowledge are not conducive to shifting our focus from simply documenting disparate treatment, whereby communities of color are often represented through a comparative lens, to equity in health promotion―grounded within culturally- and historically-relevant context (Bediako & Griffith, 2007). Contemporary health scholars, often those from underrepresented minority backgrounds, continue to take up the charge, noting that subverting dominant paradigms and developing new methodological approaches and intervention strategies are critical to promoting health equity for the disenfranchised, namely communities of color (Baker et al., 2015; Bowleg, 2021, 2017; Brown, et al., 2014; Jackson et al., 2012).
