Abstract
Black/African American women in higher education face many overt challenges of systematic racism, discrimination, lack of mentorship, and lack of community inclusion. The purpose of this presentation is to enhance awareness of Black/African American women’s experiences within counselor education and provide strategies and implications to increase overall levels of satisfaction and success. Additionally, due to the state of the nationwide pandemic, we will discuss how to creatively establish yourself as a new African-American female Faculty Member given the increased distance learning platforms.
