Abstract:
This phenomenological study explored experiences of belonging and striving for significance for select Black women residing in the Southwestern United States as relatable to Adler’s Individual Psychology. Seven participants were interviewed who reported that Black women were able to create their own communities of belonging and forge strong social bonds that furthered their contributions in supportive environments. Implications for Individual Psychology are provided.
