Finding Wholeness: From Latina Daughter to Motherscholar: A Mujerista Autoethnography

School counseling is facing a crisis of representation. Within the diversification of the profession, the question of professional identity development is critical. However, the professional identity development of school counselors from an intersectional and Mujerista perspective is limited. Through an evocative autoethnographic methodology, I explored my professional identity development through the recall of various critical incidents that impacted the way I exist and enact social justice advocacy to increase the narrative representation of a different path of professional identity development and to support professional diversification efforts. Themes from Latine professional identity development, Mujerista psychology, and motherscholar epistemology were used to deductively code the recalled critical incidents. Readers are invited to feel instead of think through the moral dilemmas of professional diversification efforts and then connect that dilemma to a diversification action within school counseling practice, education, research, and policy.
