• The problem and the solution. This Issue overview introduces the problem, purpose, significance, and need for studying leadership from the perspectives of African American women.

The need for more sociocultural theories in the field of human resource development (HRD) that address intersectionality in the leadership experience is the overarching theme of this Issue. A discussion of the contribution to HRD is provided in this overview as well as a preview of each article contained in this Issue.
