Abstract: This work brings together the lived experiences of 13 Latinx women in STEM and medicine, who pursued opportunities in the midst of systemic, cultural, and personal barriers. Their autoethnographic stories illustrate how grit, resilience, and community support intersect to shape pathways into science and health care. Collectively, these autoethnographies do more than recount challenges – they illuminate strategies for equity that can inform institutional practices, mentorship design, and national policy.
