Black AF: An autoethnography of how six ethnically diverse counselor educators used community as a tool of decolonizing the academy

Abstract

In this autoethnographic heuristic inquiry, six ethnically diverse Black counselor educators examined their experiences and identities in historically white spaces, including clinical settings and academia. Findings included three themes: Black community as anchor, navigating the weight of oppression, and Black is not monolithic. Implications for the counseling profession are discussed.
