Colleges and universities appoint interim leaders to fill key leadership vacancies during periods of organizational transition and change. Although a widely accepted practice within higher education, there is limited literature related to the topic of interim leadership or on the experiences of those who navigate the role. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to explore the experiences of Black women interim leaders. The two research questions that guided this study were: How do Black women interim leaders describe their interim leadership experiences at predominately White institutions? In what ways, if any, do Black women engage in waymaking to inform their interim leadership acumen at these institutions? In this research, waymaking referred to the survival, resourcefulness, and spiritual consciousness of Black women. Using Endarkened narrative inquiry, a methodological framework developed by McClish-Boyd and Bhattacharya (2021), 10 Black women from predominately White institutions offered empowering stories and testimonies of their interim experiences. Collectively, culturally aligned themes of resilience, authenticity, inheritance, and generosity emerged and offered insight into waymaking as they navigated their interim roles. Implications from this study offered guidance on engaging and implementing a culturally relevant research process that centers Black women's voices and stories as sources of knowledge and invites culture, spirituality, and wisdom within its praxis. Lastly, this study challenged the benefit of interim leadership experiences at predominately White institutions and offered recommendations to those occupying the role that prioritizes safety and well-being.
