Abstract	The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how Hispanic female administrators describe their experiences with discrimination at work, and how those experiences may have played a role in their career progression as community college leaders in the United States. The theoretical foundation of the study was critical race theory and Latino/a critical theory. The research questions that guided this study included how Hispanic female administrators describe their experiences with discrimination at work and how do those experiences with discrimination play a role in their career progression as community college leaders. The study sample consisted of thirteen Hispanic females that work or have worked in community college leadership in the United States. This qualitative study used a qualitative descriptive research design. Data was collected through two data sources: twelve semi-structured individual interviews and one focus group, consisting of five participants. Data collected from the study was analyzed through thematic analysis. The results of this study included that Hispanic female community college administrators describe discrimination at work and outside of work but choose to continue to work in the field of higher education administration because of their feelings of care for others. As well, the results showed that Hispanic female administrators need good leaders to help them navigate discrimination at work. Results showed that they adapted and learned ways of dealing with discrimination at work so they may continue to make positive changes for the greater good. This study found that Hispanic females do experience discrimination at work and for many, they choose to use these experiences to help others.
