Resistance Strategies for Black Graduate Students in Higher Education

Being a Black woman at a predominantly White institution (PWI), I experience simultaneously racialized and gendered encounters that leave me feeling anxious and incensed. The social justice spaces that I found in graduate school help me to navigate challenging experiences and to speak truth to power.
