With a nod toward the future, this symposium positively examines inter-ethnic, inter-institutional, transnational women of color in various P-20 educational leadership contexts, personal and professional barrier transcendence through multiple institutional, psychological, and emotional ‘obstacles’ in order to attain careers in educational leadership. In this symposium historically underrepresented and underserved women in educational leadership positions broadly interrogate the notion of transcendence theoretically and through research in an interactive session that encourages interactive dialogue with participants.
