| The purpose of this study was to explore the intersection of race, class, and gender as it relates to successful Latina counselor educators. Specifically, I exploredthe lived experiences of Latina women faculty from disadvantaged backgrounds and providing them space to discuss their life stories in depth. An experience-centered critical narrative lens facilitatedconversations around race, class, and gender in relation to their ability to advance through their educational pursuits and experience success as counselor educators. Within counselor education, there is an absence of leadership, mentorship, and senior-level minority faculty members with Latina women remaining among the lowest represented (Hinojosa & Carney, 2016). There is a dearth of research on women faculty of color, particularly Latinas experiencing multiple marginalities (i.e., gender, race, and class), and research is needed to understand the experiences of career success. The results of this study begin to fill the gap in understanding how to better recruit, support, mentor, and retain Latina counselor educators.
