Grounded in Black existentialism, this paper explores the identity-concordant mentorship relationship between a Black male full professor and a Black male pre-tenured assistant professor, which began at a historically Black college or university (HBCU), as a case illustration. Through this lens, identity-concordant mentorship is defined as a relationship between individuals with a shared racial and gender identity, and it emerges as a critical practice that sustains professional development while countering the “revolving door” phenomenon in counselor education and supervision (CES). Simultaneously, the case illustration of an identity-concordant mentorship relationship creates (1) a space of survival, (2) fosters perseverance amid personal and professional challenges, and (3) advances career and professional development. Significantly, this scholarship utilized a case illustration to demonstrate how identity-concordant mentorship evolves into sponsorship, serving as an organizational framework to effectively apply and sustain doctoral preparation throughout a career and promote professional development within the field.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development","volume":"54 1","pages":"12-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145969931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
