Celestine delves deep into the personal and professional journeys of African American women who have defied societal and institutional barriers to ascend to one of the most prestigious roles in higher education: university president. This groundbreaking study illuminates the intersection of race, gender, and leadership, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs these women face as they navigate an often hostile and male-dominated academic world.

Through in-depth interviews and rich portraiture, Trauma and Triumph reveals how African American female presidents overcome the structural barriers of racism, sexism, and tokenism while constructing a professional identity rooted in resilience, determination, and self-advocacy.
