Abstract
Abstract As a Black, female, feminist, intersectional psychologist whose scholarship defies traditional categorization, I have faced several challenges within academia including identifying my scholarly niche, finding collaborators, and building networks. In this article, I identify how, by building and extending my network, I have been able to: (a) become an “authentic scholar,” who conducts scholarship consistent with my training, feminist values, and intersectional theoretical framework; (b) find support and coaching to deal with issues of stereotyping and unequal treatment within academia; (c) support graduate students and early-career faculty, especially those of color; and (d) take on leadership roles.

Women & Therapy is the only professional journal that focuses entirely on the complex interrelationship between women and the therapeutic experience. Devoted to descriptive, theoretical, clinical, and empirical perspectives on the topic of women and therapy, the journal is intended for feminist practitioners as well as for individuals interested in the practice of feminist therapy. The journal focuses on a wide range of content areas, including: •issues in the process of therapy with female clients •problems in living that affect women in greater proportion than men, such as depression, eating disorders, and agoraphobia •women"s traditional and nontraditional roles in society and how these affect and can be affected by therapy.
