Overview"Historically and in contemporary society, Black women's lives from youth to adulthood remains impacted by the interlocking system of racism, sexism, and classism (Collins, 2000). This phenomenon operates in the context of elected office, and in particular Black women's leadership development experiences and the career decisions they make to enter and remain in this sphere. As a Black woman with an interest in pursuing a ""career,"" that is to serve in elective office in Georgia in a long term capacity, I recognize by virtue of my race, gender, and even class that my journey to political leadership is more complex and challenging in comparison to males and White women. One indisputable reason is that, historically, men tend to be socialized to enter politics and remain there long term. Men are encouraged and positioned at young ages to take advantage of opportunities that will prepare them for a life in politics. Women, on the other hand, are often discouraged and even locked out of pursuing such opportunities."
