Drawing from their educational testimonios, in this article the authors explore the notion of leadership via testimonio tenets. The authors share their positionalities as testimonialistas and delve into testimonio as methodology, epistemology, and pedagogy. The authors focus on what mujerista leadership looks like for them inside the classroom and in the community. A reconceptualization of leadership in higher education is discussed.
