Abstract

This study explored the experiences of Black female leaders in higher education and their encounters with racial microaggression. Additionally, the opportunity to understand the effects of racial slights within the workplace as either a mid to senior level leadership was also explored. Regardless of the multiple diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) trainings within higher education, Black female leaders are experiencing their share of racial inequality based on their race, gender, or both (DeCuir-Gunby et al., 2019). The unique experiences of racial microaggression encountered by Black women, aligned with the framework of both the Black feminist theory and intersectionality theory respectively. These theories were used to illustrate the daily occurrences of racial microaggression, within the workplace settings, where Black female leaders are not always seen as an equal to their White colleagues. Results of the study revealed that stereotypes can create a discomfort within the workplace, especially for a mid or senior level leader who is expected to remain professional regardless of their experiences with racial slights. The educational accomplishments of each participant, in addition to their professional years of experience, have been questioned or undermined either by their colleagues or subordinates. Participants expressed their experience of emotional distress caused by racial microaggression, along with a wage gap as part of their lived experience as they navigate the impact of microaggressions. Recommendations include dismantling racial microaggression within the workplace with more in-depth DEI training, along with promoting accountability towards colleagues who partake in racial slights within the workplace.

1. Imposter Syndrome-The inability to absord someones accomplishments & fear that someone will be a fraud
2.The imposter Syndrome affects a student in their educational journey and career experience because it instills doubt in someones mind.
3.The Imposter Syndrome affects African American women in the workplace because they are doubting their abilities and don't believe they are worthy in the workplace.
4.Race and gender play a part in AA women's work experience because they always have to go above and beyond to show they are worthy of being there.
5.One strategy that would improve the workplace for women of color is adding more diversity in jobs.
6.One thing I learned is that a white teacher is less likely to believe a black kid can graduate from high school or college.

2.The strength and challenges of the black family are strong kinship, work ethic & family .The challenges are not sticking together or not building each other up.
3.Racial socialization affects parents and children in a black family because parents have to go out of their comfort zone to explain racism and how to navigate in the world to their kids.

1. The typed of -isms I identify are racism and sexism.Ex: being told you don’t look like a lesbian based on your appearance.Ex: you can pass this test because you are Asian.

2. No I feel today we still have racism just because we don’t have any segregation doesn’t mean racism nor discrimination has went away.

3. My personal definition of racism is a person being treating unfairly based on their skin color ,Racism is a social construct because in some way it still exist today.

4. What stood out to me from the podcast was that African Americans are perpetual aliens in their own country .

I chose Nia meaning purpose , it resonates with me because I feel as if every one on earth has a purpose in life and that's to be whoever you choose to be but be good at it,I have seen this being valued in the African American community because we were put on this earth to be different and our purpose still is to stand up for ourselves and protect our culture.

In the African American community the concept that is mostly present is Maafa. Maafa means enslavement of African people.I have witness and plenty of other people witnessed numerous African Americans go to jail the concept is shown every single day either on social media,news or in person.The least concept that is present is Sankofa which menas looking back to go forward.I feel as if most people don't look at the past mistakes they just move forward and repeat those same mistakes in order to move ahead. Ex: Repeating & failing a test multiple times and getting the same answers wrong as before you have to go back and study the wrong answers to get them right & go forward.

Theory 1: 1)I do think that ubantu is still alive and well today in African American culture but I feel as if its not used in today's society our people need help on remembering or studying up on our past to deal with the crisis and issues today.
Ex: kidnapping,police brutality,jail for wrongfully convicted.
2)The concept of ubantu has changed my worldview because Americans are not that giving and accepting & welcoming as Africans ,African cultures are all about helping respect ,sharing,community coming together as one and American culture is basically fight for yourselves not coming together to help each other at all and that is sad.

1.6 Who am I , First experience with Race & Sense of Self Brainstorm: 

# data[].attributes.body
PROMPT 1:
1) Who am I ? I’m 23 years old currently working as a medical assistant,In school to pursue a career in nursing.
2)Who do I pretend to be ? I personally don’t pretend to be anyone by myself.
3)Who do people think I am? Based on my demeanor people assume I’m either mean or stuck up and that comes from how I carry myself but in reality I’m friendly, outspoken and a nice person.
4)Who do I wish I could be ? I don’t wish to be anyone but myself I just want a good and successful future for myself.
5)How has race or ethnic identity played a role in any of these responses ? Race nor ethnic identity played a role in any of my responses but I would say as African American working in the health care field I would always have to go above and beyond in doing my work to show that I’m worthy of being there .
PROMPT 2:
- I’ve personally haven’t dealt with race in my life yet ,maybe It will cross my path one day in the future and if I ever come across that I’m sure this class would help me prepare for that.
PROMT 3:- I don’t think a person that has a negative view of their sense of self can have a positive sense of ethnic identity because how would they know who they are if they have a negative way of thinking.
-I think someone who identifies positively with AA Psychology will have a stronger sense of self or ethnic identity because they are aware of who they are personally and also would know how to go about certain situations if it would ever come down to it just by studying on how other people would think of us.
