The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore the creation of Homeplace between Black women who recently graduated from high school and their former high school counselors who were also Black women. Additionally, this study strove to examine the perceived benefits of experiencing Homeplace in the relationship with their former school counselor for the Black women who recently graduated high school. Homeplace is an environment created by Black women where they can resist oppressive systems, affirm one another, and experience wholeness together (hooks, 1990). Womanism was utilized as the theoretical framework for this study and served as the lens through which the data was analyzed. Major elements of Womanism, including boldness, love, connection, and collective care were considered throughout this process (Walker, 1983). Data analysis revealed four themes: Shared Identities and Experiences, Addressing the Hidden Curriculum, Collective Care and Freedom in Relationship. These findings were explored through a Womanist theoretical framework. In the final chapter of this study, the researcher discussed several implications for school counseling and counselor education and recommendations for future research that were informed by the findings of this study.
