Perspectives on the Leadership Styles of African American Women in K-12 District Leadership: A Phenomenological Study
Ashley V. Cox
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Trevecca Nazarene University
The intersectional identities of African American women leaders come with challenges and obstacles that few thoroughly comprehend. This phenomenological study sought to understand the impact of intersectionality on the leadership styles and journey of African American women in K-12 district leadership. Historically, leadership literature interlocks the identities of African American women with those of Black men or White women, but the researcher sought to give a voice to African American women and allow them to divulge their experiences. The study illuminated shared leadership characteristics among African American women leaders, differences when comparing the leadership styles of African American women to others and confirmed that race impacts both the leadership style and journey of African American women.
