There is limited understanding of how women of Mexican heritage transform cultural and familial protective factors into strategies to help navigate their education. This study helps bridge the gap between students' cultural wealth and the ways they utilize this protective factor in college. I analyzed the strategies used by seven first-generation college women of Mexican heritage and captured them through participant-produced photographs. Specifically, visual snapshots of the ways they chose to deploy their cultural wealth or asset-based resources were provided. The display of family photographs, collages, and religious statues reflected, accommodated, and validated their precollege assets and resources to incorporate their cultural wealth while navigating the first year in college. The women stayed connected with their precollege protective factors that include their family history, familial-cultural assets, and family resilience as they transitioned to college life. This study supports efforts to support educational excellence, equity, and justice for first-generation college women of Mexican heritage.
