本文考察了11名黑人女性在计算机科学（CS）的叙述，以探索和理解她们在计算机领域的交叉经历（学术、专业、家庭等）。我们对参与者进行了半结构化的访谈，以探索和理解她们作为黑人女性在计算机行业的经历。四名编码员分两轮对录像进行内容分析，并对视频数据进行转录。总的来说，我们的分析显示，我们研究中的女性经历了歧视、他人的期望过高或过低、孤立、性别歧视和种族主义；然而，他们仍然选择留在这门学科。忠于自己的个人和职业目标，拥有有效的导师，以及从父亲那里得到的灵感，这些都为他们成功的抵抗途径和策略做出了贡献。
This paper examines the narratives of 11 Black women in Computer Science (CS) to explore and understand their intersectional experiences (academic, professional, familial, etc.) in the field of Computing. We video-recorded the participants as they engaged in semi-structured interviews to explore and understand their experiences as Black women in Computing. Four coders engaged in content analysis on the video-recordings as well as transcripts of the video data in two rounds. Overall, our analysis revealed that the women in our study experienced discrimination, expectations from others that are too high or too low, isolation, sexism, and racism; yet they still choose to stay in the discipline. Remaining true to their personal and professional goals, having effective mentors, and inspiration from their fathers all contributed to their successful pathways and strategies of resistance.
