| Sumario: | Background. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)have unique needs as they adjust to roles as academicians and scientists. Although the importance of mentoring is emphasized across healthcare professions and among diverse disciplines and situations, the success of nursing faculty who are BIPOC, termed as Black, Indigenous, and Nursing Faculty of Color (BINFOC), is heavily influenced by the mentoring received early in their academic career. Purpose. Aims of the analysis are to present a model case using a novel strategy of integrating historical research, present attributes that have been influential in legacy building for more than 30 years, and elucidate the unique situation of mentoring BINFOC toward leadership excellence. Methods. We examine numerous documents, map major concepts, and organize the manuscript using Walker and Avant's eight-step approach to concept analysis. Results. Attributes noted during the analysis included evidence of mentoring BINFOC through 1) research, 2) interpersonal, 3) psychosocial and career, 4) culturally responsive/diversity, and 5) sponsorship. Hypothetical borderline and contrary cases are presented here. An actual model case, Dr. Sallie Tucker-Allen, was highlighted using historical research strategies. Conclusion and Implications. This analysis can help develop empirical and culturally specific intervention studies to assess the degree of effectiveness of mentoring BINFOC. Finally, this analysis illuminates attributes that influence quality mentoring of BINFOC toward leadership excellence.
