摘要

Black men remain underrepresented and hypervisible in counselor education, often navigating systems marked by racial isolation and inequity. This qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of eight Black male Ph.D. faculty in counselor education. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and playlists functioning as sonic artifacts of resilience. Findings revealed three themes: systemic racism and emotional dissonance; mentorship and advocacy as survival; and music as a sonic counterspace promoting identity, healing, and cultural affirmation. The study introduces Sonic Voice, an extension of photovoice methodology using auditory artifacts as counter storytelling for marginalized scholars. Implications include intentional retention strategies, culturally responsive mentorship, and reimagining counselor education through equity and healing.
