Abstract
This article presents a collaborative analytic autoethnographic approach as a vehicle to explore and examine the experiences of four black, female, faculty members during a double pandemic. Personal narratives were used to detail how intersecting components of their identities infused with social, cultural, and political norms impacted them during the coronavirus outbreak and racial trauma resulting from deaths of unarmed black men and women. The theoretical underpinnings of critical race theory provided the lens through which the researchers offer an understanding of the broader social phenomena. The researchers provide implications for counselor educators and future research.
