Abstract	This study explores the complexity of success for Black female faculty members based on six Black women at a public research oriented university in the Southeast. All women shared the challenges they experience as Black female faculty members. Findings indicate that while these women seemingly have attained professional success, they are leery of labeling themselves as successful. Participants defined success in three major themes: success was publishing, success was giving back, and success was a journey. Of these women, only one considered herself successful. Participants stated that being successful was defined externally and comparatively, they had some successes, and they could never become complacent or satisfied. The conclusions of this study demonstrate that further analysis of the Black female faculty experience in research-oriented institutions is required to more accurately determine the contributors or obstacles to success. This information may be helpful in supporting and promoting Black females on their professional path. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided).
