Becoming: Womanist Perspectives of Leadership In 2018, Michelle Obama published her memoir, Becoming, sharing her experiences. Framed in a Black Womanist theoretical perspective, four middle-manager leaders share their “becoming” stories as leaders. Several salient themes emerge: Leadership within a womanist framework, transformative leadership, growth through waiting, and work-life-balance.
This leadership short fosters a rich discussion of our distinct leadership journeys and styles, offering strategies and lessons learned that can be applied broadly in higher education leadership.
