African American women are underrepresented in executive level positions in parks and recreation. This study used a phenomenological approach to qualitative research. Twelve African American women leaders in parks and recreation participated in this study and shared their experiences en route to leadership positions. Women leaders shared characteristics of their career pathway to leadership, including descriptors for resiliency, barriers faced en route to leadership and how they overcame barriers. Themes that emerged to describe career pathways were be resilient and bounce back, it's a faith walk, a positive attitude is everything, positive relationships matter, and it's all about community. Themes used to describe barriers faced in the workplace were race and gender still a problem, negative perceptions of African American women, workplace needs a facelift, and intense hiring practices. Emergent themes that described negotiation strategies were early introduction to the profession is key, prepare, prepare, prepare, strategic thinking required, and patience is key. Key findings of this study indicated that African American women leaders are resilient. Other findings indicated that this study provided a foundational basis for future research on African American women leaders in parks and recreation, provided descriptive data on the formative years of experience that shaped their careers, and extended research on the career development of African American women. Findings from this study provide empirical insights into the experiences of African American women leaders and contribute to theory, practice, and literature regarding the career experiences of African American women leaders in parks and recreation.
