This study aims to deepen our understanding of the economic mobility of Black women residing in Cincinnati. The broader research questions under study are as follows: What does economic mobility look like for Black women in Cincinnati over the life course and intergenerationally? Are Black women advancing in salary and up the organizational ladder in their respective employment? What are some of the barriers and challenges Black women identify that impede their upward (economic) mobility, and what strategies work well for those who perceive themselves as “successful”? How do Black women assess the workplace environment, and how does this connect to their upward or downward mobility? More specifically, what are the tangible impacts of intergenerational homeownership, health status—specifically, a new disability or health condition—on Black women’s economic fragility?
