This article presents analyzes and reflections on the awakening to blackness in black women. The term negritude indicates the processes of subjectivation from which black women and men present themselves as racialized subjects, heirs of a history marked by violence and exploitation faced since the colonial period. Inspired by the analyzes and reflections of black women such as Djamila Ribeiro, Grada Kilomba and Maria Aparecida da Silva Bento, we analyzed reports extracted from three lectures published on YouTube, two of them led by Nátaly Neri and one by Stephanie Ribeiro - women publicly recognized as activists who awakened to female blackness. The narratives and reports expressed in the videos were submitted to Content Analysis processes. The results point to struggles associated with the modes of subjectivity carried by racism operated in the structural, institutional and individual dimensions. In the midst of the most diverse pressures for subjection, black women assert themselves and resist through sharing and strengthening ties and bonds. Resistance involves positions situated in the domains of ethics, politics and aesthetics. Finally, the relevance of research capable of echoing voices, gestures and nods of female blackness is emphasized.

Palabras clave : women; blackness; racism; subjectivity.
