ABSTRACT A narrative of one black woman who is a trained psychoanalyst in America gives a small window to the way raced, gendered, and economic experiences influenced her perception of her world. Candid descriptions of situations she encountered, participated in, and observed are offered to illuminate some of the continued racialization of difference that is a part of the psychoanalytic community. The reader is asked to rely on the theoretical positions offered by the author to understand the importance of recognizing minoritarian voices as authentic and relevant to the work of psychoanalysis.
