This presentation examines the unique challenges and opportunities Black women face in the field, including navigating professional growth, workplace dynamics, and systemic barriers. A key focus is placed on generational perspectives in ABA, highlighting differences in training, leadership styles, and the persistent lack of representation in leadership roles (Cirincione-Ulezi, 2020). Through personal narratives, panelists will discuss the importance of stepping outside comfort zones and applying Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to make values-based decisions in practice. This conversation aims to empower attendees with strategies for bridging generational gaps, integrating culturally responsive practices, and adapting ABA principles across diverse settings. By fostering open dialogue, this session seeks to inspire meaningful change and greater inclusivity within the field.
