What personal and professional fulfillment do African American women obtain working in a PWI? How do African American administrators and faculty negotiate demeaning, oppressive, and often exclusionary practices of the university? Utilizing qualitative methodology, the authors gave voice to the observations, reflections and stories of the five African American women administrators and faculty regarding their personal journeys of success and achievement.
