Abstract
This study illustrates how six BIPOC students practice self-care in their graduate programs at a
PWI. Findings—reported as [chis]temonios, testimonios written in gossiping style—suggest that
the participants practice self-care by attending to their bodies, immersing in their cultures via
food & music, actively pursuing their communities, loved ones, & mentors, and staying true to
themselves as their definition of success, a definition oftentimes not endorsed in academia.
Overall, the findings suggest that the participants practice self-care by prioritizing themselves
strategically and creatively within the academy. The major themes include: reclaiming time,
rhetorical herencia, ancestral remembering, self-care in the academy, authenticity, capitalism in
graduate school, productivity syndrome/the grinding, and platica as an alternative qualitative
methodology.
