| Abstract: | The article focuses on the importance of Black feminist leadership as a framework for promoting social justice within the field of school psychology. It highlights the historical contributions of Black women to social movements and emphasizes the need for school psychologists to adopt more inclusive and equitable leadership practices, particularly as the profession remains predominantly White. The authors argue that traditional views of leadership often overlook the advocacy and cultural responsiveness essential for addressing disparities faced by marginalized groups in educational settings. They advocate for intentional outreach, mentorship, and the recognition of diverse leadership styles to empower Black female school psychologists and enhance representation in leadership roles. The article serves as the first in a series aimed at redefining leadership in school psychology through the lens of Black feminist thought. [Extracted from the article] |
