In this qualitative study, the authors explored the lived experiences of 25 Black Deaf women attending college at a predominately White institution (PWI) with a majority-hearing student population to understand how the participants situate their intersectional identity in everyday situations. Data was collected using participant observation on campus, focus groups, and individual interviews. An intersectional framework and a critical race-grounded theory analysis were used to organize the themes. The authors present the participants’ lived experiences by discussing these themes and their implications for education, counseling, and social work with Black Deaf women and other multiply marginalized groups within the current sociocultural context
