Abstract

The author argues that there is a need for more and better equipped Black women to release their full gift potential to lead and to assume leadership positions for the benefit of society and the work of God in the earth. From the literature she studied historical, theological, psychological, socio-political and economic factors. The author's field research includes a leadership survey and a related case study for peer discussion groups on a focus group of twenty-five Black Christian female respondents who are leaders or emerging leaders. She presents a theological context of women walking in calling and potential as kings and priests unto God who practice and administer a biblical framework of social justice and fairness in their respective spheres of influence. She concludes that Black women have made great strides but there are many areas in life that continue to have only token expressions, if that, of Black women. Extended-period, interactive, leadership developmental forums in the form of mentoring retreats or empowering, collaborative networks are identified needs for the enriched personal and spiritual development of Black women.
