Terence Hicks and Lemuel Watson book fill this research void by providing narratives from the voices of Black administrators and students who toil the higher education terrain.

What an insightful collection of explorations and narratives giving testament to the importance of knowing our professional and personal selves. To thine own selves be true, and therein, begins the journey of leadership for and in higher education. Reflections from these transparent accounts in Terence Hicks and Lemuel Watson edited volume reaffirm this simple truth.
