Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of intersectionality based on the proposition that inscribing gender and disability in race helps us to think about a meaning of becoming black beyond substantiation, affirming the concept of relational identity. The dispute over the concept of identity is one of the biggest clashes in the field of psychology when it comes to thinking about the racialization of anti-black racism and
the agency of black people in Brazil. To do so, we went to meet the black women's movements, which are at the base of the construction and development of intersectionality as a tool of struggle, freedom and disalienation. In this journey, we take as references the works of Neuza Santos Souza, Patricia Hill Collins and Lélia Gonzalez, and also the life story of Rachel, a black, deaf, ex-slave woman, who in 1868, requested enrollment in a special school for deaf people. We conclude that the process of becoming intersectionally takes away the sense of universalization of identity and highlights intersectionality as a tool that helps us in the fight against oppression by recognizing how these forces intersect in the singular and collective lived experience, from the agencies.
