In this article, the authors discuss experiences and processes in their professional development as Latina academics. They frame their dialogue chronologically around the following themes: family background, graduate school, experiences with colleagues, participation in academia, interactions with students, and situations that inspire and motivate. By sharing their perspectives on issues linked to their status as women of color, the authors construct meaning and identify potential strategies for recruitment and success of minority students and academics.

Key Words: Latina • higher education • faculty success • recruitment
