Summary:The experiences of five multiracial women were documented in this study. A thematic analysis with a phenomenological framework was applied to the data analysis. Findings revealed five primary themes, including (a) experiences of microaggressions, (b) uniquely defined intersectionality, (c) making sense of one’s multiracial identity, (d) significance of relational support, and (e) openness and understanding. Limitations of the study, as well as some helpful recommendations for counselors, are discussed.
