"Psychology as an academic and clinical field has historically overlooked issues of race, culture, and colonialism, leading to 'race-blind' researchers and clinicians and the undervaluing of global minority staff. Now is the time for a cultural and societal shift. The strengths and talents of global majority staff must be celebrated, workplace culture must be inclusive and supportive of all staff, and equitable mental health services for all must be a priority."
