Using the crossover capital framework (Salinas, 2015), this study situated the lived experiences of 12 Black and Latino men community college students across multiple places and spaces, with each space having the potential to oppress and/or privilege the individual. This qualitative phenomenological study revealed that participants actively pursued opportunities to navigate new environments that would potentially privilege them in ways that their home environments would or could not. This paper provides implications for practice and research to advance support for Black and Latino men community college students to navigate their sense of identity in various educational landing spaces via the value they place on access to resources and relationships.
