Abstract	As online programs continue to grow, and Black women continue to face systemic challenges in their doctoral programs, little is known about how Black women navigate their experience in online doctoral programs. Amalgamating prior research on persistence, retention, online doctoral programs, and critical race theory, this qualitative study examines the challenges eight Black women faced in completing their online doctoral programs and how they persisted through those challenges. For challenges they faced, participants discussed personal challenges (making time to complete work, disruptions in their personal lives, disruptions at work, challenges posed by family, and connections to past academic trauma), challenges navigating their online doctoral programs (loneliness and isolation, navigating bias, technology challenges, financial barriers, exploitation, bureaucracy, and lack of staff support), and challenges in the dissertation process (choosing a dissertation chair, lack of mentorship and support, unclear guidance, lack of research autonomy, and faculty unresponsiveness).
