There is an exiguous representation of African American women in leadership positions at institutions of higher education. This study examines the experiences related to the retention of Black women administrators at Predominantly White Institutions through a qualitative phenomenological lens. This study explored the experiences of five African American women administrators at public institutions across the USA. The participants highlighted the impact of Black Tax, the presentation of their authentic selves, and the impact of microaggressions on their retention as administrators.
