In a nation that often celebrates independence as its highest virtue, it can be difficult to fully grasp the indispensable role of interdependence. Yet, the truth is undeniable: we need others as fundamentally as we need air and water. Isolation may seem like a tempting illusion of strength, but true thriving is impossible without connection. In politically charged moments like these, there’s a tendency to retreat into silos or embrace self-reliance at the expense of community. This piece invites us to choose a different path—one that recognizes the transformative power of relationships and collective care. By embracing interdependence, we not only survive but flourish together.

What will we become if we reject the stereotypes that have confined us as Black women? Can we afford to shed the sense of sin and shame surrounding our identities? These are the questions that our founder, Ebony Aya, pondered as she wrote her latest work, Reconsidering Eve: Towards a Deepened Consciousness. Torn between the desire for liberation and the comfort of embracing the status quo, our author ultimately concluded that it is imperative for us to challenge, redefine, and reconstruct the narratives about who we are in order to become who we are meant to be.

Love, love, love this beautiful poem emphasizing the importance of spaces for Black people. A quick two minute read guaranteed to bless your soul.
Amplifying the voices of Black women. Dr. Mom. Founder of BSW Chronicles. Adjunct @ Purdue Global & SNHU
Unapologetically Leading is a space for Black women's narratives, and I am thrilled to share a piece from our first guest contributor, Truly A. Davis, PhD. This piece, entitled "A Letter of Clarification," speaks to the importance of having space for Black voices and experiences, and it should be just for us. #poetry #blackvoices

Chronicling Our Experience as Black Women in Higher Education aims to compile an anthology of Black women's experiences in academia. We will build a community for sharing these stories, identify common themes, and develop narratives about our encounters. This project will highlight not only our challenges but also our resilience in overcoming them. Our goal is to amplify voices historically marginalized in higher education, empowering those most affected to take control of the research. We seek Black women who are or have been involved in higher education at all levels, including students, faculty, and staff. By collecting narratives from different academic roles, we aim to tell a comprehensive story of our experiences, resilience, and success despite institutional barriers. Sharing these stories is essential for our well-being and for guiding future generations of Black women in higher education. Check out the link below for more information and to express interest in participating by July 15. https://lnkd.in/gGban59s
