Abstract

This critical autoethnography explores a deep understanding into the lived experiences of Black female education leaders. The chapter analyzes overarching themes in an auto-ethnographic narrative from eight Black female education leaders. As they spoke their truths, they shared their challenges regarding racial abuses as they bridge racial and social injustice divide. Interviews with this unique group demonstrated how they navigated their duties among leadership, race, gender, power, and social justice.
