TRAUMA AND TRIUMPH: Exploring the Professional Identity Construction of African American Female College Presidents in Higher Education
Discover the untold stories of African American women who are reshaping the landscape of higher education one presidency at a time.

In Trauma and Triumph, Thea R. Celestine delves deep into the personal and professional journeys of African American women who have defied societal and institutional barriers to ascend to one of the most prestigious roles in higher education: university president. This groundbreaking study illuminates the intersection of race, gender, and leadership, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs these women face as they navigate an often hostile and male-dominated academic world.

Through in-depth interviews and rich portraiture, Trauma and Triumph reveals how African American female presidents overcome the structural barriers of racism, sexism, and tokenism while constructing a professional identity rooted in resilience, determination, and self-advocacy. Thea's research not only highlights the obstacles these leaders face but also celebrates their success in breaking through the roverbial glass ceiling.

This book is essential reading for scholars, educators, and leaders in higher education, offering key insights into mentorship, leadership development, and the power of community among African American women. Trauma and Triumph will inspire aspiring leaders, challenge institutional biases, and provide a blueprint for creating more inclusive and supportive pathways to leadership.
