The Dissertation in Practice was conducted as a collaborative group as required by the Doctorate in Educational Leadership program. Although researchers have established the benefits of principals of color, there is a stark shortage in the pipeline, much of which is because of the oppressive experiences they have in K-12 education as leaders. In our qualitative research study, we focused on this dynamic. We explored the experiences of principals of color in K-12 education, focusing on the challenges they faced and the capitals they employed. We used Yosso's community cultural wealth (CCW) theoretical framework to address these challenges. Findings from this study expand upon the existing literature by highlighting the prevalence of cultural, structural, and intersectional oppression encountered by principals of color. Besides, we highlight the pivotal role of various forms of capital, such as social (e.g., MEMPSA, NAACP, and union leaders), familial (e.g., mother, brother, and wife), resistant, and linguistic (e.g., neighborhood language) capital, in enabling principals of color to resist, persist, and thrive despite oppressive experiences. The implications of our study call for targeted interventions and support mechanisms within school districts to better support principals of color by disrupting structural, cultural, and intersectional forms of oppression. We recommend creating an inclusive district-wide culture, providing mentors empathetic to the needs of principals of color and opportunities to expand their professional networks, and ensuring they have access to union representation and our knowledge about contractual employment agreements. We also suggest that districts provide support wellness resources to assist principals of color in their plight. By investing in these resources and fostering supportive environments, school districts can enhance the retention and success of these unicorns.
