I Be Cookin’ Up My Own Recipe: Black Deaf Women Making Their Way Through HBCUs

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Black Deaf women have a history of holding space for themselves and leaving their marks on the world. We explore the experiences of five Black Deaf women who did just that by attending four different Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as undergraduate students. Using a narrative methodology and a Black Deaf Feminism framework, counternarratives unfolded that more deeply explore why these Black Deaf women chose an HBCU, how they navigated, and what we might learn about making HBCUs more open and accessible to future Black Deaf students.
