Abstract
This article addresses the scarcity of academic productions about Black psychologists in Brazil, examining the results of searches in databases. The theoretical-methodological framework is based on Black intersectional theories. Additionally, accounts of pioneering Black psychologists are presented, highlighting their trajectories and the challenges they faced. The research reveals the absence of studies that address the experiences of Black psychologists and discuss the theme of racism within the profession. The text also seeks to emphasize the importance of valuing the voices and experiences of Black women in Psychology and proposes breaking away from narratives that dehumanize and objectify the Black population, pointing out the urgency of an anti-racist Psychology committed to confronting the racial inequalities present in Brazilian society.
