Abstract
Through collaborative autoethnographic methods, this study centers on the individual and collective experiences of multiple generations of women educational leaders. Specifically, this study employs the use of testimonios, as a tool of critical reflection and storying, this chapter provides novel insight into the formative and supportive relationships between multiple generations of marginalized women educational leaders in praxis. Four themes emerged from our shared testimonios: (1) The Evolution of Leadership and Self-Actualization; (2) Leadership is Time and Context Bound; (3) Compassionate Leaders Foster Community; and (4) Leadership is Rooted in Legacy. In the discussion of the storying of our leadership, we highlight lessons we have learned from Dean Penny's legacy which amplify love and aspiration to live these virtues of our leadership out loud. Ultimately, this chapter seeks to dismantle sociocultural and political norms, increase intergenerational collectivity, and entice multicultural collaboration and representation with a social justice framework in higher education.
