Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to provide insight, encouragement, and tools to African American female leaders whose leadership experiences have been impacted by racial and discriminatory acts in the workplace. African American women, having been assigned two disadvantaged social constructs, have unique lived experiences. These lived experiences provide understanding and knowledge into the realities of life for African American women. This chapter will share the lived experiences of African American, female, senior-level administrators in higher education, and underscore the complex factors that influenced their leadership traits, development, and style. This chapter will also discuss the temporal effect of lived experiences, demonstrating the link between past, present, and future leadership experiences for African American women. The chapter will also discuss the importance of the informal leadership that African American women provide to each other through sister-circle relationships. This chapter will conclude with recommendations and suggestions for future research.
