This study attempts to examine the experiences, perceptions and aspirations of five Nigerian mothers regarding their children’s life and the Greek school. Τhe focus is on black mothers who live and work in Greece, deal with inequalities and confront multiple obstacles within school context and beyond. “Invisible” women, whose migration pathways, desires and expectations remain on the sidelines. This study also attempts to bring to light their voices and explores how they understand their role as mothers, construct and (re)define their identities, within the social context, bringing their own experiences and “luggage”. Focus is put on mothers’ experiences from school, their expectations from education and the anxieties and hopes regarding the future of their children in Greece. The obstacles raised from schools, children’s’ educational pathways, and the limits they detected in their future, are also presented. Racial issues permeate the study, emphasizing on the racial discrimination experienced by mothers and their families.
