The purpose of this qualitative research study was to explore the experiences of African American women community college faculty in North Carolina, and their perceptions of climate. The primary source of data for this study was obtained via semistructured interviews of 10 purposefully selected African American women community college faculty. Participants ranged in age from 31-55 years and identified as part-time or full-time instructors. Secondary data obtained for this study included field notes, and document analysis. The research questions that guided this study included: 1) What are the incentives for African American women faculty in community colleges? 2) What are the barriers for African American women faculty in community colleges? 3) What environmental conditions affect the work experiences of African American women faculty in community colleges? The constant comparative method was used to analyze the data, which in turn revealed several findings. The following themes resulted from the findings: 1) awards and recognition, 2) engaging students, 3) institutional administrative relationships, 4) lack of institutional support, 5) unchallenged institutional practices, 6) professional relationships, and 7) navigating uncertainty and complexity in the workplace. Two conclusions were drawn from the findings. Communication with students, peers, and supervisors was vital to the faculty in feeling connected, supported and valued at their institution. Discrimination of any kind was a hindrance to the faculty members' ability to thrive. African American women faculty members, regardless of internal or external barriers within their institutions, continue to persevere. The conclusions of this study are beneficial to institutions of higher learning, specifically community colleges.
