100 Black Women Professors Now (BWPN) is a 12-month programme which aims to propel equity of opportunity for Black women academics, researchers and PhD students and to deliver a step change in progress for the HE sector by working with individuals throughout the academic pipeline as well as institutions, managers and leaders. These are reflections about the programme from 2024 participants.

Of 23,000 UK professors, only 61 are Black women and only recently has this stark statistic gained widespread attention. For Black women, the messy and protracted path to promotion, along with discrimination and misogynoir have been many of our experiences. The 100 Black Women Professors NOW programme (100 BWPN) delivered by the Women in Higher Education Network (WHEN) recognises the need to address fundamental inequities and support Black women as we navigate career progression.
