This study identifies and contextualizes the formation, structure, and benefits of homophily (relationships with similar others) and social support among tenure-track Black women faculty. Drawing on 36 interviews from 19 Black American women faculty, we employed a mixed methods social network analysis approach that combines descriptive bipartite network analysis and visualizations with qualitative thematic and narrative analysis. Findings suggest that for Black women with strong social support networks of other Black women, their networks and relationships transcended professional and personal boundaries, often began in graduate school, and lasted throughout their careers. Our study expands social support research through the lens of intersectional homophily, centering race and gender. This work also contributes new methodological insights on the value of social network analysis and mixed methods to expand, broaden, and nuance our understanding of how and why Black women choose and maintain effective social support. While Black women are supporting one another, findings also underscore the lack of institutional support, highlighting the need for systemic change and greater attention to Black women’s socialization and mentorship in doctoral training and beyond.
