Abstract	The proposed study will investigate the culturally responsive leadership practices of black female principals in the anti-DEI climate. The goal of this project is to determine how black female leaders deal with the growing limitations surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts against the historical backdrop of the struggles associated with the complex needs of school communities. The proposed study will analyze the leadership practice trends, the relevant historical exchange, and the recent policy shifts to highlight the role of culturally responsive updates in black female principals’ leadership practices.
