Praise for this book

"What we see in this book is a nuanced and transparent window into understanding how powerful and successful black women mentor each other in an organizational and cultural landscape that was neither built for their access nor success... Undoubtedly this book should speak to many stakeholders in higher education-current and prospective graduate students, tenure-track faculty, senior level administrators, philanthropists, and legislators.

--From the foreword by Christine A. Stanley, Ph.D., Regents Professor of Higher Education, Texas A&M University
