And as specific objectives, it is proposed to understand how the deaf black woman sees herself in the context of her trajectory and the relationship of this process in the affirmative construction of her ethnic-racial identity; analyze the images and meanings of being a deaf black woman built in the militancy process and problematize the formative educational processes and the knowledge built in the deaf black woman's militancy trajectory as a possibility of political empowerment built from subversive acts of gender, race and deafness . The research that originated this study took as a mobilizing aspect the following problem: how was the life trajectory of the deaf black woman, activist of the deaf community, in favor of overcoming racial inequalities, gender and difference in the municipality of Igarapé-Miri/ SHOVEL? Methodologically, theoretical support was sought in studies of authors that address themes related to gender, race, deafness, militancy, memory, narratives, which stand out: Scott (1995), Louro (1997), Guimarães (1999, 2004), Hall (2003), Schwarcz (1933), Skidmore (1976), Skliar (1998, 2010), Goldenberg (1997), Fanon (2008), Brah (2006), Pêcheux (2010), among others.
