Abstract
In this chapter, the authors discuss the effects of working from home amid two pandemics. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) struck hard in March 2020, shifting what we know as higher education and magnified racial and income disparities in America. Higher education institutions quickly decided to close their doors to hundreds of thousands of students and send them home to their families across the country. Students, faculty, and administrators alike all scrambled to persevere and complete the Spring 2020 semester. Simultaneously, the untimely and gruesome murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Abury, and Breonna Taylor were watched in real-time and magnified racial tensions and violence in America. The authors use anti-Black womanism to introduce the tale of two professionals who work in higher education. This chapter aims to detail the experience of working in higher education while being Black women professionals during two pandemics. Throughout this chapter, they have the goal to share narratives of being Black women professionals.
