Drawing on a feminist co-mentoring relationships framework, this chapter shares the story of how I found my place within academia. As a first-generation college transfer student, I emailed the Chair of Early Childhood Studies program at CSU Channel Islands to ask for an advising session before my first term. She replied with a few options for dates, times, and an office location. I picked one, then drove over four hundred miles to my new university campus for the meeting. This was my first time meeting my mentor, Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) Quintero. I didn’t know to ask for a phone call instead of an in-person meeting. Not knowing has been characteristic of my experiences with higher education and academia, but this has been an asset in some ways. Betsy has pushed me to forge my path and investigate my curiosities. She has offered ample and intentional room to learn who and how to trust and where I want to focus my efforts and concern. Not knowing and learning how to navigate the convoluted, political world of academia has allowed me to consider new ways of navigating our institutions. Co-mentoring has supported my care for students as whole people with entangled passions and concerns about their lives and the world, as Betsy has for me.
