| Abstract: | Black women have made innumerable contributions to school psychology through practice and research, while also playing a pivotal role in promoting social justice through their professional advocacy and leadership. In this second article of a three-part series on Black feminist leadership, the authors explore the challenges Black women face as leaders in school psychology, as well as culturally informed coping strategies that maintain well-being and foster more affirming environments. They also offer specific policy and practice recommendations to help school psychology organizations be more inclusive of Black women and other minoritized school psychologists, and Dr. Celeste Malone presents about hypervisibility and how Black female leaders engage in self-preservation by channeling their emotions into advocacy and organizational change. |
