Abstract
This chapter discusses the implicit and explicit strategies the authors, four Black women graduate students, use to mentor each other. They use an iterative storytelling process, guided by a framework uncovered from data collected through Sista Circle Methodology, to discuss how their cohort itself is a conscious being with a mind, heart, body, and soul; that contributes to political and social change at our historically white institution. Their implications are for both graduate students and stakeholders in institutions of higher education – including faculty, staff, and administrators.
