Understanding how African women transition into the US successfully is an important issue for counselors and counselor educators to explore. Focus on African women in particular is important due to the silenced nature of their voices in a variety of issues that continue to plague many African countries. African women in transition may need support in navigating a new culture, society, and possibilities for their place as women. As counselors, we are positioned to offer aid and guidance for these issues due to the nature of our training, ethical codes, and overall mission.
