Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore the perceptions and experiences of Black female diversity practitioners during the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and the racial reckoning of 2020. Using portraiture as a methodology and Black feminist thought (BFT) as a framework, this chapter gives voice to two Black women who worked at Ivy League institutions as diversity practitioners from March 2020 through June 2021. This chapter places the portraits of Black female diversity practitioners at Ivy League institutions within the larger discourse about the impact that the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and the racial reckoning of 2020 had on higher education administrators.
