The Majestic Place

With engaging, inviting prose from a variety of writers, The Majestic Place offers insight into a conversation and perspective of Black women leaders' interiority that is not often welcomed or heard. In The Majestic Place: The Freedom Possible in Black Women’s Leadership, editors Wendi S. Williams, Whitneé L. Garrett-Walker, and Nia Spooner curate the leadership narratives of Black women leaders from a range contexts, including education, health, and non-profit industries, in which they serve some of the most vulnerable and chronically disserved. Focused on the stages of women’s intra-personal and spiritual development, this book aims to create an expansive vision of Black women's leadership grounded in lived experience. Contributors to this book are Black women scholar-practitioners who lead in higher stakes context of serving and cultivating people and change. Each was invited to express their leadership experience(s) in essay, poetry, and/or prose form to offer a lens into the interiority of Black women’s leadership praxis that is not always welcomed or heard.
