Beschreibung
Leslye Renee Kornegay, EdD, rose from being a housekeeper, to a director, to a doctor of education. Through those years, a number of platforms emerged that gave other voices for Black women across all professional genres to speak up about the "-ism's," work and life struggles, and challenges and barriers in the workplace. The rise of Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Tik Tok, podcasts, YouTube, blogs, and private TV digital stations opened up a wealth of Black women's experience that were not accessible before. Dr. Kornegay realizes that she was never alone in her experiences as a Black woman in the South, but she understood that Black women's voices were not as prevalent in the literature and social media as they are today-in both peer and non-peer contexts.
It is Dr. Kornegay's hope that her book Leading to Change the World, can be used as a foundational piece to aid other Black women in their journeys. Although her focus and research have been on Black women in leadership, specifically in primarily white institutions (PWIs), she believes this book serves as a resource for anyone working with Black women in any professional capacity.
