The purpose of this narrative study was to explore the identity-based experiences of Black women student-athletes at predominantly White institutions. Framed by Black feminist thought and critical race feminism, this study employed narrative inquiry to explore the experiences of Black women student-athletes (n = 7). Using photovoice and photo elicitation, semi-structured interviews, and sista circles as methods of data collection, analysis uncovered four themes which captured how Black women student-athletes experienced college, and how they navigated and defined their identity throughout various periods of their life: "They care about the GPA, but it can't conflict with practice", which captured participants' experiences of being an athlete in the classroom, "I'm not like a normal person", which captured participants' experiences related to being a collegiate athlete at their institution, "Aren't you here to help me?", which captured participants' experiences navigating different relationships and creating community within the athletic space, and "I'll be the only Black girl?", which captured participants' experiences and perceptions of how being a Black women athlete shaped their experiences. This paper concludes with a discussion of the findings in the context of prior literature, as well as implications for future research, policy and practice. Exploring the ways in which the experiences of Black women student athletes differ from those within dominant narratives of "women athletes" and "Black athletes" can redefine how higher education and the NCAA define gender and racial equity for collegiate athletes.
