This study explores the challenges and opportunities for Black women in leadership positions within the accounting industry in the United States. To analyze a comprehensive dataset of professional publications, social media discourse, and organizational reports, the research utilizes a cutting-edge large language model (LLM). By utilizing this advanced technology, the study aims to uncover patterns, and narratives that are often overlooked or inaccessible through traditional qualitative methods. The LLM’s capacity to process vast amounts of text-based information provides a unique perspective on Black women’s experiences, obstacles, and accomplishments in accounting leadership. The study sheds light on persistent challenges related to racial and gender bias, but also highlights a growing recognition of the value of diversity in leadership. The research identifies crucial factors that contribute to the success and advancement of Black women in accounting leadership, including mentorship, organizational culture, and policy-driven initiatives. The insights gained from this analysis offer valuable implications for policy makers, educators, and corporate leaders who aim to create a more inclusive and equitable professional environment in accounting and other fields.
