ABSTRACT
This chapter illuminates community building and the contemporary digital relationships among Black women academics. Employing auto-ethnography and scholarly personal narrative, three “sister scholars” share their individual experiences of academe, their relationships as friends and colleagues, and the ways their persistence and success are bolstered and facilitated through digital spaces of community, accountability, and support. Recommendations regarding mentoring and retention between Black women scholars navigating unique professional pathways to and through the various sectors of the academy are presented.
