"We're Serious about Our Education": A Collective "Testimonio" from College-Going Latinas to College Personnel
Kiyama, Judy Marquez
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v17 n4 p415-429 Oct 2018
Upon transition to higher education, Latinas face obstacles including cultural stereotypes, limited financial resources, racist campus climates, family responsibilities, being first generation college students, and cultural incongruities. Despite obstacles, Latinas exhibit college aspirations and goals. This article centers Latinas' messages directed at college personnel in the form of a collective testimonio. Their messages are important for higher education professionals to consider when working with Latinas. Implications for practice, teaching, and future research are shared.
