Description

This chapter sheds light on the pivotal convergence of educational leadership and the current political environment, explicitly emphasizing the obstacles, grit, and support networks that minority women encounter. Leaders demonstrate resilience in facing obstacles such as underrepresentation and navigating policy changes, underscoring the importance of addressing distinctive challenges. Inclusionary leadership and proactive measures include diversity initiatives, inclusive cultures, and support networks. It is of the utmost importance to address pay disparities, advance intersectionality awareness, and encourage research on inclusive leadership. Ongoing endeavours should eradicate systemic obstacles, promote equitable policies, and foster diverse representation. The narratives of minority women leaders underscore the transformative power of resilience, mentorship, and advocacy, emphasizing the critical need for a more inclusive educational system from a strategic standpoint. 2024, IGI Global.
