Abstract

Black women experience a plethora of challenges in the workplace. Mentoring has been noted as one strategy to assist Black women as they cope with those struggles as well as a strategy to assist Black women with navigating higher education institutions. Black Feminist Thought is used to center the experiences of Black women with attention to their unique and intersecting identities in connection to social and political issues. This chapter will be used to frame mentoring through the lens of what Black women need socially and politically to thrive in the workplace. Themes will be presented from an integrative review of literature on Black Feminist Thought and mentoring. The chapter concludes with implications using intentional frameworks to mentor Black women in the workplace and recommendations for future practice in mentoring Black women.
