Summary:"Sis, but how is your spirit, though?" This is a question we ask each other often, an inquiry that grounds us in the spiritual restoration that is necessary for our survival. We are women of color (WOC) academics trying our best to be well. As sisters first, and scholars second, our Critical Sisterhood Praxis demands that we show up on this page how we show up for each other--with unapologetic authenticity, compassionate care, and sacred intention. As we write within and beyond academia's constraints, we reimagine what is possible for radical feminist scholarship written with our healing at the center. As we map our educational journeys of spirit murdering, we embody a collective effort of spiritual sustainability by affirming for ourselves that it is possible to be whole within and despite the academy.
