African American Women face a variety of issues in the academy, community and society. The strength of this group often lies in sisterhood, as to many, the saying “you are your sister’s keeper” rings true. This series addition addresses the concerns of African American Women in academia at the micro, mezzo and macro levels that can be used as the foundation for developing policies and intervention strategies to assist on their journey. Theoretical perspectives and practices that have impacted African American women in academia related to their individual and collective experiences are also explored. The literature provides a clear understanding of the intersectionality of being Black and a Woman. African American women employed in academia must balance perceived roles related to being Black and a woman. This is a difficult balancing act for many due to the systemic racism and gender bias that exist within the institutions, along with those that exist in society as a whole. The authors describe a variety of circumstances that have impacted their perceptions related to academic experiences. It is imperative that African American women learn how to successfully navigate systems and uncomfortable situations that occur within the academy. It is the responsibility of those who understand the academic process and have been successful in addressing issues that arise to reach back and assist those that will follow. They must continue to lift as they climb!

It’s my right to share who I am, but why am I afraid to tell you that I am a Christian? This question has seeped into the catacombs of the minds of humanity throughout the ages. Fear of reprisal from mainstream society intimidates the Christians to the point of frustration. People from every walk of life rally in the general public to present their platforms but it’s the Christians who are afraid to “Come out of the Closet.”This conversation is necessary and I am elated that through this great work scholars will address the inequities that loom in and outside of Christian Universities. The former is more egregious as horror stories are shared by individuals hired in “Christian” Universities who were met with racism, misogyny, inequities in salaries ageism, marginalization of their intelligence and a hypocritical dance around scripture which expresses love but it is not practiced. People of Color are invited to these universities but are forced to leave because of the trauma inflicted through microaggressions and the subversive antics displayed by members of “the host” team. May this great work open up the discussion and parlay a treasure cove of scholarship around this topic. The Message Bible James 1:22-25 says, “Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear!” Those individuals who speak scripture but refuse to practice what they’ve learned are not walking in the word of God, but are walking in error; that is why they can express love but spew out hate. Hopefully, this great work would net a “Man in the Mirror Response” for all readers.
