As soon as psychologist Whitney Raglin Bignall steps into a new patient’s room at the primary-care clinic where she works, she sometimes sees a bit of tension ease in the nervous parents and children staring back at her.  Their shy smiles of hello might suddenly reach up toward their eyes, their shoulders might relax a little once the invisible weight of history lifts from them.  Only about 5% of practicing psychologists are Black, and that number is even lower when it comes to those who specialize in pediatric care, as Raglin Bignall does.
