| The purpose of this research is to explore the experience of NCAA Division I Black female senior-level administrators, the microaggressions they encounter in the work place and the coping strategies that are developed to maintain mental, physical and emotional well-being. Seven participants were interviewed to reach themes for exploring racial microaggressions, the reactions and process of these racial microaggressions and coping strategies. Four themes of racial microaggressions were revealed: environmental manifestations, external interactions, stereotypes of Black women and exclusion. The experience of racial microaggressions solicited various reactions and consequences that impacted their careers. There were six themes of coping strategies that were recognized during the interviews: religion and spirituality, armoring, self-care, shifting, community and champions and mentorship. This research provides a unique contribution to the field by providing insight into the nuances of racial microaggressions in college athletics and distinctive ways in which Black senior-level administrators respond to these frequent interactions. The participants shared examples of environmental racial microaggressions and as well as individual racial slights experienced throughout their career. The most prominent impact was to react by educating others. This study highlights the need for athletic directors and presidents to foster inclusive athletic departments that provide opportunity for employees to reach success by being their authentic selves |
