“…These journeys specifically pertain to the challenges of discrimination, stereotyping and structural barriers (Benschop & Brouns, 2003; Benschop & Doorewaard, 1998; Carton & Rosette, 2011; Castilla, 2008; Chisholm‐Burns et al, 2017). Similarly, a growing body of research argues that people of colour do not experience leadership situations in the same way as White people (James & Busia, 1993; Littrell & Nkomo, 2005; Littrell & Valentin, 2005; Moorosi, 2021; Nkomo, 2011; Ohlott, 2002; Parker, 2005; Spiller et al, 2021). More specifically, people of colour experience challenges within leadership development contexts regarding visible role models, cultural differences, stereotyping, discrimination, heavy penalties for mistakes, and resistance to authority (Ellis et al, 2006; Livingston et al, 2012; McCarty Kilian et al, 2005; Rosette et al, 2016).…”
