Abstract
This chapter addresses the experiences of three female faculty of color throughout the pandemic. The authors challenge the linear narrative associated with progression through doctoral programs, entering higher education and progressing towards tenure track through the use of counternarratives. The chapter applies a critical race theoretical lens to deconstruct the multilayered intersectionality a part of academia when women of color enter spaces centered in hegemonic, white, male-dominated practices. The chapter concludes with a recognition of where the journey for faculty of color is today and strategies to continue while grappling with Black fatigue.
