Abstract

Black women in academia have excelled to great heights and have paved the path for many others to become successful leaders. They provide examples of leading with excellence, vitality, and great strength in overcoming barriers in their quest to shatter the glass ceiling. Rising to the top one rung at a time will provide insight into pathways and critical steps that Black female leaders have taken to rise through the ranks in academia. Focus will be given to the role of mentoring and its impact on academic career success, the importance of a robust support system, self-reflection as one reaches each rung of the career ladder, and extending a helping hand to others following the same path. Practical implications will be shared that higher education institutions might use to support Black female leaders. Expanding the body of knowledge on this construct may aid institutions in recognizing, developing, supporting, and uplifting the next heroine in academia.
