This chapter focuses on the challenges I have experienced as a female immigrant faculty member of color transitioning from academia in the Caribbean to academia in the United States. In this chapter, I delve into this narrative while employed as a faculty member in higher education. Through personal stories, I explore my identity and adaptation using an autoethnographic and arts-based research lens. The chapter highlights the unique challenges I faced as an immigrant faculty of color when adapting to a new educational system and culture. It emphasizes hurdles such as adapting to different pedagogical methods and overcoming cultural barriers. It centers on my narratives rather than generalizing the immigrant faculty experience. Additionally, I discuss the impact of these experiences on the identities of immigrant faculty. These reflections underscore the vital role of diversity in enriching academic discourse and contribute to a broader understanding of the interplay between personal narratives, cultural backgrounds, and professional roles in the academic landscape. Ultimately, my narrative serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of immigrant scholars in the face of systemic adversities.
