<jats:p>During the past two decades, an increasing amount of research has focused on career progress for women; however, gender has been the main focus of study, with the aspect of race rarely mentioned. In response, recent studies have begun to refute the implicit assumption that references to “women” in such research include all women, and that the experiences of all women are similar. This preliminary study focuses on the life and career experiences of a group of black women managers and administrators, exploring factors they identify as having impacted their career progress. Interviews and focus groups were used to gather data. Discusses ideas for additional research and implications for organizations interested in fostering a more supportive environment for women of colour.</jats:p>
