African American females are underrepresented in STEM fields of studies and professions throughout the United States of America. This phenomenological study aims to understand the lived experiences of African American females persisting in post-secondary STEM education and STEM professions. Bronfenbrenner's (1979) Ecological Systems Theory served as the theoretical framework for this study. In addition, critical Race Theory was used as a filter to understand the challenges African American females face in STEM. The sample size for the research was seven African American females with STEM degrees working in STEM fields in the United States and abroad. In the data collection, the researcher employed a semi-structured interview. The researcher used the NVivo 12 software to systematically code, sort, identify themes and patterns, develop categories, and provide the report. Ten major themes emerged for this study: familial experiences, self-concept/STEM identity experiences, societal experiences, internal influences, familial influences, cultural influences, personal changes, cultural changes, connections to the community, and materialized support. The researcher maintained the privacy and confidentiality of all participants throughout the study. The researcher used pseudonyms and a secure password to preserve privacy and confidentiality. The findings from this study may contribute to the body of knowledge regarding African American females' persistence in STEM education and professions. Additionally, this research provided data to support the perceived barriers, challenges and influences African American females encountered in the STEM field of studies and occupations with the sources of influence of their STEM persistence.
