Abstract

Throughout Volume 24 (2023) of Health Promotion Practice, we presented responses to our Call for content addressing the question, "What is Anti-Racism in Health Promotion Practice?" With Editorial Board colleagues, Aditi Srivastav Bussells and Carlos Rodríguez-Diaz, we (Keon L. Gilbert and Kathleen M. Roe) sought frameworks for action and practical examples that would catalyze, support, and (re)invigorate the field in response to the urgent need to eliminate racism as a cause of inequalities in health. This conversation with artist Wriply Bennett concludes the series. We invite scholars and practitioners to review all 17 contributions to the series and to continue to ask - and address - the question 'What is anti-racism in our practice, scholarship, and lives?"

Keywords: anti-racism; arts in public health; health disparities; health equity; health promotion; intersectionality.
