In this manuscript, we discuss how we, four women scholar-practitioners of color (WSPoC), utilize their cultural intuition (CI) to navigate the work place and academia in the context of our professional roles situated within STEM-M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics-Medicine) K-16 setting. We collectively shared our "testimonios" through "platicás" in writing group sessions creating a virtual "counterspace" that allowed us to examine the role of CI in our lives. From that examination, we developed a conceptual model of "Scholar-Practitioner Cultural Intuition" (SP-CI) consisting of five tenets. The objectives of this manuscript are to describe the testimonio process, the conceptual model that emerged from the analysis of the testimonios, and the model itself. Thus, this manuscript strives to reconstruct and reimagine the understanding of how scholar practitioners (SP) navigate and advocate for themselves and students within racist educational structures and systems.
