Black feminist thought (BFT) was used in this study to explore the lived experiences of tenured black women counselor educators at historically White institutions. The study employed BFT to understand better how they positively navigated their experiences. The analysis identified three primary themes and nine subthemes, exemplifying how Black women Counselor educators successfully navigated the halls of historically White institutions to become tenured. The findings of this study can transcend the way practicing counselors, counselor educator programs, leaders of institutions, and Black women counselor educators create and hold space amid institutional, systemic, and gendered racism. Furthermore, these implications can principal decisions on policies and practices that support the favorable alignment of hiring and tenure practices, including course and service assignments.
