Even though the United States has become more ethnically diverse in population, higher education has been slow to reflect such diversity. Black women who seek leadership positions face obstacles that limit their access to senior management levels within higher education. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine 10 African American women senior-level administrators at two-year and four-year colleges, their educational preparation and career paths that led to their leadership development, and the strategies used to overcome perceived obstacles to their success. Through in-depth face-to-face interviews, participants were asked to talk about their experiences related to their personal and professional development. The 10 themes that emerged from the participants' responses to four research questions were 1) background and education, 2) a commitment to social change through education, 3) a perceived relationship between mentorship and career development, 4) value in relationship building, 5) feeling unappreciated and overworked, 6) race vs. gender, 7) finding a work-life balance, 8) rejecting the labels, 9) knowing the culture, and 10) proving competence. This study highlights the 10 African American women administrators' experiences in higher education administration in an effort to effect positive change in policy, practice, and future research in the field of education as well as provide inspiration for Black women who aspire to serve as leaders in the academy.
