This paper centers the role of faith and spirituality in how Black women persist in computing education. Through their narratives, the authors examine the sources of resilience that sustain Black women as they navigate exclusionary spaces.
Grounded in Black feminist thought, the work argues that understanding the full personhood of Black women — including their spiritual lives — is essential to broadening participation in computing.
The findings call on educators to recognize and make space for the cultural and spiritual resources students bring with them.
