Abstract
The relationship between black raciality and subjectivation is fundamental in the construction and experiences of black women by showing and speaking of a gendered racism that has placed black women in different places marked by axes of oppression within the diagrams of power. This article, starting from the relationship between black raciality, gender and subjectivation in the lived experience of these black women in the African diaspora, discusses how colonial trauma can be returned to the world, creating possibilities for a different futurity, in this world which is responsible for creating and reenacting it, thus reproducing gendered violence. Therefore, this article uses the narratives of 07 (seven) black women in the city of Rio de Janeiro as methodology, their writing experiences by writing narratives as epistemo-methodological lenses. This work aims to understand these women's trauma experiences, opening a way for the reinscription of their lives, by refusing the complete violence and excess in their bodies as possibilities to build well-being.
