SUMMARY:

First and foremost, I ask for agô (execuse me) from my ancestors to share stories that belong to us. This brief mandinga introduces the ongoing dissertation, exploring educational processes emerging from the bodies of black women in the Capoeira Angola community in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The goal is to investigate how the narratives of corporeality of these black women reflect ancestral memories through Capoeira Angola and how these insights translate into educational practices. I chose action research as the best methodological approach, constructing this study through empirical action, demonstrating that educational spaces, even informal ones, strengthen the cultural identities of these women and their communities. In the social context, I assume that black women, in society and within Capoeira spaces, face the overlap of two social markers, resulting in more intense oppressions, whether through patriarchy or racism. I bow before the berimbaus to contemplate the intersection of gender and race when addressing the historiography of women in Capoeira. The racist and sexist social structure prompts us to rethink these trajectories at the racial and gender crossroads, preventing these stories from being told from a singular perspective that nullifies the feminine existence throughout these journeys of gingas and resistances. To give rhythm to this construction, four other women shared their lives and learnings: Master Jararaca, CounterMaster Brisa do Mar, Larissa Almeira, and Jéssica Paranaguá.
