The purpose of this study was to amplify stories from Black women serving in higher education administrative roles at Predominately White Institutions (PWIs). The Underground Railroad concept for Black women in higher education administration uses Black feminist theory, path-goal leadership theory, and critical race feminism to understand how Black women navigate the ivory tower. Emergent themes of successful pathways for Black women within higher education administration were identified using a qualitative methodology of narrative inquiry. From their stories, narratives tell the attitudes, behaviors, and support systems Black women utilize to overcome barriers and experiences in higher education administration. The overarching research question was: What are pathways Black women utilize to overcome barriers in higher education administration?
