Significant literature exists that focuses on cultural competence at the individual level, while cultural competence at the organizational level is rarely addressed. In addition, there is extensive literature separating and distinguishing cultural competence from cultural humility. The lack of intersectionality between individuals and organizations and the perceived division between cultural competence and cultural humility impedes the delivery of quality and equitable services. Part II of this two-part series on cultural competemility applies an intersectionality approach to the process of cultural competemility and offer strategies for nurses to actively challenge and address inequalities in their journey towards cultural competemility. In Part II the authors discuss the problem of silo thinking, after which they present an intersectionality perspective of cultural competemility, offer practice, educational, and administrative, and research applications, and conclude that a lens of intersectionality allows healthcare providers to consider new ways to overcome the division between individuals and organizations so as to promote delivery of quality and equitable healthcare services.
