| Abstract | In this Black Feminist qualitative study, we used sista circle methodology and Black feminist thought (BFT) to explore Black college women's experiences, socialization, and messages on skin complexion. We further examined the impact of these messages on Black college women's campus experience. Eight, self-identified, Black college women participated in this study. The individual and collective experiences of these eight sistas revealed: (a) Black college women receive messages about complexion and colorism from family and media; (b) the salience of colorism shifts depending upon Black women's educational status and identity development; and (c) acts of resistance against colorism vary from choosing to be silent, engaging in conversations, and even to committing to research on issues facing Black women. Campus practitioners should consider offering programs and resources inclusive of nuanced experiences of Black college women to avoid reaffirming colorism. Researchers should consider exploring (with)in-group privileges afforded to Black women based upon their complexion to better understand how colorism impacts (post)college success. (As Provided). |
