This article explores the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on racially minoritised children and young people. It draws on a study that investigated the factors that impacted the well-being and resilience of Black and Asian children and young people in the UK during the pandemic. The study employed a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews and focus groups with Black and Asian children aged twelve to nineteen years, to explore their perspectives of the contributing factors that impacted the health, well-being and the coping strategies and support they were able to draw upon to navigate challenges. The thematic analysis highlighted themes of: (1) Support and well-being and (2) coping strategies and resilience to understand the layered elements of multiple intersecting identities and inequities. The findings revealed insights into the intersection of multiple disadvantages, namely economic stressors, food poverty, digital inequality, disrupted education and disproportionate losses that impacted family functioning, peer-to-peer support, friendships and social connection. Through the lens of community cultural wealth, this article seeks to examine key factors that need to be foregrounded when lived experiences are rooted in the cumulative effects of multiple intersecting inequalities. The findings provide insights into the challenges exacerbated by structural inequalities and racial disparities that disproportionately impacted youth experiences. This article explores how the combined experience of racial discrimination and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected the well-being and resilience of racially minoritised children and young people. This article draws on research with children and young people aged twelve to nineteen years from Black, Asian and dual heritage backgrounds. The findings of the research showed multiple disadvantages, including financial pressures, food poverty, digital inequality, disrupted education and disproportionate losses, all of which had an impact on young people's family functioning, peer-to-peer support, friendships and social connections, that were significantly intensified by racial inequality. This article concludes with some reflections to help us understand the factors and networks of support that are important for promoting resilience for racially minoritised young people who experience adversities.
