Spilling the TEA: Black Identity in sister circles at PWIs(Research Abstract)

Sister circles have become a strategy for identity growth space for Black/ African American women. Black woman face numerous issues on college campuses and in society, there is lack of formal safe spaces for them to unpack and manage the weight of microaggressions and campus climate concerns at predominately White institutions (Croom, Beatty, Acker, & Butler, 2017; Porter & Dean, 2015; Winkle-Wagner, 2010). Using a qualitative research design, Black feminist thought (Collins, 2000), and Black Racial Identity development (Cross, 1978) for the theoretical framework, this study examined the experience of 14 collegiate Black women and their racial development within a sister circle program. The sister circle program, Sister T.E.A., at Nichole University, a predominately White private institution in the Midwest, was selected for the research site. Using thematic analysis, the researcher identified three themes: sense of belonging, Black girl magic/ mountain, and sisterhood space.
