The ABCs of Black women's leadership.(IN HER OWN WORDS)
As a transnational African Canadian educator, poet, artist, writer, activist and researcher of Black women's leadership in the Diaspora and Africa, I developed The ABCs of Black Women's Leadership to document the experiences of African Canadian women.
Similar to Harriet Gould's (2005) ABCs perspective of leadership, I however drew on an analysis of race, gender and class experiences of Black women for understanding leadership.
The ABCs is a partial outcome of my larger research project for a PhD dissertation on the empowerment of indigenous knowledge in Black women's leadership in the Black grassroots community, organizations and workplaces of Canada.

Here I chronicle 26 words used in Black women's leadership, taking no claim to the knowledge produced, acknowledging the women I interviewed whose narratives contributed to my research project. Given this, here is the ABCs of Black Women's Leadership.
Ancestors -- It is important to remember the ancestors, because they give us the gifts and talents to encourage and motivate others through the cycle of African cosmology where the old informs the new.
Black -- Black consciousness provides a powerful sense of African identity to empower leaders.
