| Resumo: | The text discusses the black feminist activism of braiders in the African diaspora in Brazil and the social impact of their practice. Although the movement of black women braiders is still struggling to formalize this category, the effects of their actions are remarkable in society. Through intersec- tional black feminist thinking, we have built a theoretical-methodological foundation, focusing on what has been developed by different braiders, taking lived experience as the criterion for valid knowledge among black women. In this sense, this paper aims to present some aspects ob- served in the analysis of field research with braiders from different regions of Brazil. The results show that black women braiders preserve the ancestral knowledge of braiding, developing their knowledge connected to their historical time, expressing intersectional black feminist activism by guaranteeing individual and collective subsistence; participating in social transformation projects and dialoguing with their territory in different Brazilian institutions. |
