Black Female Education Leaders and Intersectionality

Abstract

The pandemic has operated within a cultural movement opposing systemic racism. Redux of Black Lives Matter was spurred by the killings of George Floyd, Ahmad Aubrey, Rashard Brooks, Breonna Taylor, and others, and resulted in prolonged protests throughout the country. This caustic backdrop has created unique challenges for female Black educational leaders. Thus, they are compelled to navigate their already challenging duties among the intersections of leadership, race, gender, power, and social justice. Black female education leaders are challenged to courageously lead during an unprecedented era of disruption.
