N2 - Employing a Black feminist love praxis, this manuscript explored how two Black men resist white supremacist, cis-patriarchal modes of being in academia. Embodied autocritography as a methodological approach to curated space to theorize about love and relationality. The authors reflected on various expressions of love, using First Corinthians of the Hebrew Bible as a template. Therein, they meditated on the following: love is patient, love bears all things, and love is hopeful. The process demonstrated the power of love as a personal and political—addressing the larger social, historical, and cultural context—project, and surfaced the following themes: Love as resistance; Love as affirmative/instructive; Love as experiential; and Love as redemptive.
