Women of Color Navigating Mentoring Relationships is a stellar addition to the field of mentoring research. As a mentor program director, this collection provides a progressive framework for intercultural dynamics, which I intend to use for program change. I have looked a long time for a comprehensive book that digs more critically into issues of race, class, and identity in mentoring. This is a fantastic collection! The personal voices in this book offered insights that no other form of academic discourse could offer. My thanks to the writers for their vulnerability and teachings in these pages.

The stories, strategies, and advice in Women of Color Navigating Mentoring Relationships: Critical Examinations provides critical and powerful insights into what it is like to be a woman of color in higher education. This text challenges us to rethink our own realities and consider how we will collaborate to create opportunities for women of color who are navigating their academic journey.

I was drawn in by this collection’s elaborations on co-mentorship, as well as both the protégé and mentor perspectives. Using many personal stories, Tassie and Brown Givens have well illustrated their philosophy of mentoring and mentoring strategies that are consistent with much of the past empirical research on mentoring. This is a worthwhile book to read!
