“…This manuscript evokes the history of employing testimonio as both methodology and method. As methodology, we want to strengthen and contribute to the scholarship on the importance of employing culturallyresponsive and appropriate methods to uncover and create new knowledge from voices often silenced in academia (Flores Carmona, 2014). As a method, we engage in critical conversation and exchange, enabling us to highlight a narrative that is too often relegated as anecdotal.…”

Various inequities and challenges facing Latinx students in community colleges continue to be documented. Yet, less documented are the challenges associated with advocacy efforts to support Latinx and other underrepresented Students of Color within the community college sector. There is not often pause to consider: who advocates for Latinx students? When and how does this advocacy take shape? In this article, we offer Chicana testimonios as institutional research (IR) professionals to highlight ways we experience, respond to, and challenge institutionalized racism and systemic obstacles to advocate for Latinx students in the California community college system. We situate our testimonios within a critique of the pillar of neutrality associated with the institutional research profession and argue for a critical examination of the ways in which IR may play an active role in the perpetuation or the dismantling of educational inequities in California community colleges.

“…Testimonio methodology creates a space where the narrative centers lived experience and interrupts the existing structural way of organizing and recognizing what knowledge is and how it is constructed. Testimonio begins by taking into account a historical context of power relations; therefore, third space feminism is the analytical space that allows us to address social inequality, envisioning a transformative practice during the research process and build our resistance capital to form a community cultural wealth (Flores Carmona, 2014;Yosso, 2005).…”

“…But perhaps more important is the acknowledgement of the tension developed by how the researched and the researcher have interwoven stories that produce a reciprocal deep learning experience (Flores Carmona, 2014). Viewed from traditional paradigms, this is a limitation of testimonio-it is seen as lacking rigor, as unscientific.…”

“…Because testimonio is based on a sustained dialogue (Benmayor, 2012;Latina Feminist Group, 2001), which implicates the superiority of the act of listening in order to understand the testimonialistas' experience, there is an emphasis on the analytical element that connects a personal story to its social implications of inequality and possibilities of solidarity (Flores Carmona, 2014). That is, testimonio produces valuable data and also deconstructs oppressive power structures, decolonizes, and fosters transnational understanding and solidarity (Saavedra & Pérez, 2014).…”

Drawing from their educational testimonios, in this article the authors explore the notion of leadership via testimonio tenets. The authors share their positionalities as testimonialistas and delve into testimonio as methodology, epistemology, and pedagogy. The authors focus on what mujerista leadership looks like for them inside the classroom and in the community. A reconceptualization of leadership in higher education is discussed.

“…Examples include considering notions of cultural intuition (Cervantes-Soon, 2014;Delgado Bernal, 1998), critical reflexivity (Flores Carmona, 2014;Saavedra, 2011a;Villenas, 1996), and the brown body/sexuality (Cruz, 2001(Cruz, , 2011Yarbro-Bejarano, 1999). From these ideas, methodologies such as testimonio have been birthed (Blackmer Reyes & Curry Rodríguez, 2012;Calderon et al, 2012;Delgado Bernal, Burciaga, & Flores Carmona, 2012;Latina Feminist Group, 2001) that forge connections between the individual ''I'' and the collective ''we.''…”

In this article we take a journey into using Chicana/Latina feminisms as one way to unearth new possibilities for critical qualitative inquiry (CQI). We start by offering a brief overview of Gloria Anzaldúa's influence on Chicana/Latina feminism, focusing on how she has inspired researching and writing from within rather than about as a decolonial turn (Keating, 2015). We then venture into new imaginaries to pose questions that would lead us to ponder about global feminista solidarity, the spirit, and the land.Our hope is that these contemplations lead us on a path of conocimiento where we can put the broken pieces of our/selves back together again.
