Abstract

This chapter explores the barriers, roadblocks, challenges, speedbumps, and almost impenetrable concrete ceilings African American women face in pursuing leadership roles in higher education. The authors discuss why African-American women's leadership in higher education is essential, the tools they use to overcome these barriers, the importance of authentic leadership, and the need for a support system. The chapter closes with a discussion about the implications and recommendations for creating a pipeline for sustainable leadership advancement for African American women leaders.
