Blue Cross Blue Shield Center for Racial Health & Equity

Cultural Humility

Cultural humility, the ability to maintain an interpersonal stance that is other-oriented, is key to advancing racial equity and health equity. It is an understanding that re-humanizing others is a process we must continuously play a part in—an invaluable journey without a destination.

In this series, we meet individuals from across Minnesota who have so much to teach us. We learn about language, faith, food, art, wellness and more from the Dakota, Anishinaabe, Hmong, African American, Latine, and Somali communities. Join us on this journey as we seek to collectively deepen our stance of cultural humility.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota has declared racism a health crisis. The impact of systemic racism has taken a damaging toll on the health of our state. All communities deserve to be healthy and valued; we must therefore all act now to dismantle racism and make health equity our business.
