Abstract
Black women have a presence in higher education. However, there is still a small exemplification of Black women in higher education leadership. Black women are gradually rising in the positions of higher education leadership and the need for mentorship for these women is crucial. The chapter will cover the following topics: Black women in higher education leadership, defining mentoring, structuring mentoring, mentoring relationships, boundaries (relating to mentoring), mentoring models, and a conclusion. The goal of the chapter will not only be to discuss and understand mentoring as part of the pathway for Black women in higher education leadership but to realize that the nuances and intersection of mentoring, gender, and race are topics that can only grow in-depth and understanding the more explored and prioritized.
