Abstract

In this narrative inquiry, I explore the lifelong learning experiences of Black women participating in The Crowned Sisterhood book club's related activities. The underrepresentation of Black women in educational psychology and the omission of non-formal learning sites in adult education literature guide the focus of my research study. Drawing from lifelong learning, the situative approach, and intersectionality for the conceptual framework, the (re)presented narratives provide insight into the learning trajectories of Black women across diverse settings and within personalized contexts.
