Visionary Author Dr. Latrese D. Younger and Contributing Authors Amplify Voices, Scholarship, and Leadership Impact
Perfect Time SHP Publishing proudly announces the upcoming release of Black Women in Educational Leadership, a powerful and timely book collaboration led by visionary author Dr. Latrese D. Younger, founder of the national 501C3, non-profit organization, Black Women Education Leaders (BWEL), and an accomplished group of contributing authors. This highly anticipated publication elevates the voices, lived experiences, and scholarship of Black women who lead across educational spaces and systems.
Black Women in Educational Leadership offers an authentic and affirming exploration of leadership through the lens of Black women educators — highlighting their journeys, challenges, resilience, and transformative impact. Through personal narratives, reflective insights, and research-informed perspectives, the book addresses critical topics such as leadership identity, systemic barriers, mentorship and sponsorship, representation, and legacy-building in education.
“I want readers to take away the rawness of the stories” said Dr. Latrese D. Younger. “The goal is to be authentic so that someone coming behind you can see themselves and their story as it unfolds…”
As a Perfect Time SHP Publishing project, the book aligns with the company’s mission to elevate voices that inspire purpose, leadership, and meaningful change. Known for publishing impactful works by educators, leaders, and change-makers, Perfect Time SHP Publishing continues to create platforms for stories that inform, empower, and transform communities.
In conjunction with the book release, a series of promotional activities — including Meet the Author Live Sessions, podcast interviews, and media features — will provide opportunities for readers and educational stakeholders to engage directly with the authors and their work.
Black Women in Educational Leadership is poised to become an essential resource for aspiring principals, current school and district leaders, higher education professionals, leadership preparation programs, and anyone committed to advancing equity and excellence in educational leadership.
