Nwaneri, Oronne
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, California State University, Fresno
Black women administrators should be included in the discourse around experiences in leadership on their campuses, understanding these experiences will shed light not only on how to develop and retain this group, but also on these additional needs of this group. The experience of Black women administrators is a topic that has not been studied significantly. The purpose of this study was to detail the lived experiences of Black women administrators in the California Community College (CCC) system and to understand the role that their intersectional identities play in their experiences, focusing especially on gender and race. The conceptual framework for this study employed Black feminist thought (BFT) and intersectionality theory. Sista circle methodology (SCM) was utilized to better understand the experiences of Black women administrators in the CCC system. This study featured seven participants who are Black women administrators at Southern California CCC institutions, who shared their salient experiences within the system. Thematic analysis was used to pull rich and thick data and core themes from participants. This research found that Black women administrators experienced discrimination, microaggressions, difficulty with relationship building, regular access to various types of opportunities and resistance. Black women show their re(Sista)nce in subtle ways such as showing up, prioritizing their health, wearing culturally affirming hairstyles and clothing and mentoring other Black women which is called Daily re(Sista)nce Theory.
