Abstract
The purpose of this study was to learn more about African American, women professors who are culturally responsive. Three research questions guided the study: 1) What motivates African American women professors to be culturally responsive? 2) What are the challenges associated with African American women professors who are culturally responsive? And 3) How do African American women professors transform into culturally responsive educators?
The researcher analyzed the findings through interpretive and thematic analyses. The data revealed five themes, Black pride; Me, Myself and I at a PWI; Resilience; Advocacy and Self-Care. The last chapter provided discussion, conclusions, recommendations and implications for further research
