The lived experiences of Deaf women in Nigeria are an unexplored topic. Being Deaf, female, and African combine to form a unique constellation of background with socio-cultural variables that may impact individual development and opportunities for healthcare, education, and occupation. Because this is an uncharted area of inquiry, the purpose of the study was to examine the lived experiences of Deaf women raised in Nigeria. The study adopted an intersectionality framework. An intersectionality analysis does not seek to add categories to one another, such as gender, race, class, sexuality, but aims to understand what is created and experienced at the intersection of two or more categories. Deaf individuals raised in Nigeria, culture, gender, disability, deafness, class, religion, and power relations intersect with healthcare, education, and occupation with particular effects for women. The tribal cultural beliefs, customs and practices, national policies, and power relations shape the intersections and their impact on deaf community and individual Deaf. Using a phenomenological research approach enabled the researcher to respect the perceptions, and the understandings and meaning making of deaf women lived experience. Data collection involved individual and focused group interviews and collections of artifacts. The phenomenological approach allowed the researcher to identify, categorize, and produce an analysis of the phenomenon in question, which is the lived experiences. The study adds to the existing body of knowledge in the field of Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, and, contributes in particular, to the limited research knowledge in the field of Deaf Studies and the field of Disability Studies.
