More than Colleagues: Disrupting Anti-Blackness and Promoting Well-Being through Black Women's Workplace Friendships
Terra N. Hall; Terri Massie-Burrell
Journal of Education Human Resources, v43 n1 p202-222 2025
Anti-Blackness in the academy has the potential to negatively impact relationships between Black Women, which can ultimately influence Black women's retention and career advancement. Through an analysis of existing theories, including workplace friendships, Black feminist thought, and critical race theory, the authors first interrogate how anti-Blackness operates to harm Black women's workplace relationships and then illuminate how Black women student affairs administrators (BWSAAs) disrupt anti-Blackness and resist toxicity and systemic oppression by cultivating and sustaining positive Black women's workplace friendships. BWSAAs and those who supervise, serve with, support, and advocate for them will gain knowledge to help bolster BWSAAs' well-being, retention, and career advancement.
