Navigating the Continuum

Abstract

This chapter discusses the alignments of Black girls' experiences in K-12 and Black women leaders in international education. Qualitative storytelling, in conjunction with literature, case studies, and other scenarios, contextualizes the continuum from the classroom to being an international education leader from the lenses of misogynoir, intersectionality, and pet to threat. The authors center these stories to amplify and humanize the challenges that Black girls and Black women international education leaders face, the impacts, and recommendations for education leaders and human capital practitioners to invoke meaningful change, informing healthier working and learning environments.
