Within the field of TESOL, representation in research and pedagogical knowledge has overwhelming been representative of the White educator's narrative. Lack of representation of voices from teachers of color serves to further marginalize the experience of this group and delegitimize the knowledge and expertise that they bring to their professional and academic spaces. Drawing from literature within the fields of Critical Race Theory and Critical Feminist Theory, through use of counternarratives of experience, this qualitative study investigated the role of language, race, and gender in the construction and negotiation of five Black female TESOL teachers' racial and professional identities within professional contexts. Findings showed that Black female TESOL teachers regularly encountered microaggressions, disparaging racial ideologies, and questioning of their legitimacy and abilities as TESOL professionals based on intersecting factors of their racial, gendered, and linguistic identities. These encounters negatively impacted Black teachers' feelings of visibility, inclusion, and agency. The findings also illustrated the ways that Black female TESOL teachers (re)constructed and (re)negotiated their identities in professional spaces to strategically perform resistive acts that countered racist stereotypes, marginalization, and microaggressions they faced in their professional contexts. Implications for researchers and teacher education programs include the significance of counternarrative research in TESOL, necessity for more research on marginalized groups such as Black TESOL teachers, arguments for greater recruitment and retention efforts of Black language educators, and suggestions for developing supportive and inclusive 'counterspaces' within TESOL programs.
