Ejiogu advocates picking one’s battles to focus more time on self-care, framing survival as resistance. The chapter is fueled by her own experiences of racialized and gendered violence in the classroom, which inspired her desire to support fellow medical students. Her contribution offers important advice on navigating medical school with all its oppressive roadblocks. Degrees of Difference offers significant first-person narratives of graduate school experiences from women of color whose voices are often erased or marginalized in hegemonic discourses. The stories are deeply personal and powerful, and each chapter provides a different perspective that reveals the complexities of women of color’s choices, struggles, and resistance in the ivory tower. This book is not a how-to guide for graduate school but instead presents a collections of realistic experiences of women of color in academia. Most important, it shares with fellow women of color that they are not alone.
