Utilizamos un enfoque narrativo en este estudio para transmitir nuestras experiencias como estudiantes de posgrado que manejan la triple pandemia de COVID-19, el malestar social y la salud mental de los estudiantes de doctorado de color. Usamos la práctica analítica de contar historias a través de testimonios para investigar cómo navegamos por las instituciones de educación superior mientras mejoramos nuestras posicionalidades frente a las barreras estructurales y los desafíos sociales. Hablamos de nuestros encuentros con el racismo, la discriminación y las estructuras de poder para demostrar la influencia de las presiones políticas y sociales que existen a medida que navegamos por el programa de doctorado. Creemos que si los administradores y educadores de la educación superior son conscientes de las experiencias de los estudiantes de color que navegan por el laberinto de los programas de doctorado, pueden desarrollar un currículo y estructuras de apoyo para ayudar a los candidatos doctorales a prosperar.
