The article discusses the political organization of black women from two groups in Bahia, the Mãe Marieta Women s Collective and the Marias em Movimento. We emphasize resistance and aquilombamento processes forged by the members of the groups as subalternized active subjects. This is a qualitative bibliographical and documental study, whose analysis is based on the thought of black intellectuals such as Lélia Gonzalez, Sueli Carneiro and Conceição Evaristo. To this end, we base our analysis on intersectionality and co-existence, with the purpose of problematizing the contradictions and antagonisms generated by the exploitation/oppression of race, gender, and class and the resistance strategies carried out by black Brazilian women. The results point to the experience of the political organization of black women as a powerful space for positive self-representation from ancestral values based on collective experience.
