- Summary:
- The impact of racism and sexism have profound implications on the health and wellness of Black women in the United States. Studies show that racism and sexism create an oppressive burden and a higher level of stress for Black women that leads to disproportionately poor health conditions irrespective of socioeconomic class (Geronimus et al., 2006; Thomas et al., 2019; Williams et al., 2019; Williams and Lewis, 2019; Williams 2006). Moreover, many researchers fail to recognize the powerful and repressive effect of the intersection of race and gender as it plays out in the lives of Black women principals. To date, limited scholarly research has investigated the impact of misogynoir, or gendered racism, on the lives of Black women. To date, only one published study has examined the coping strategies Black women principals used when they endured gendered racism (Burton et al., 2020). In addition, there is no scholarly research published that focuses on gendered racism, Black women principals, resistance, and self-care. Hence, this dissertation critically explores the journeys of Black women principals explicating how they live into encounters with this unique intersectional identity-based discrimination that encompasses gendered racism or misogynoir. Using an exploratory critical transformative phenomenological approach, this mixed methods study documents the lived experiences of Black women principals detailing how they respond to and recover from identity-based discrimination. The findings from this study have provided the epistemological foundations that generated a theoretical self-care framework for Black women designed to mitigate the unique identity-based discrimination that Black women principals in this study faced.
