Writing for survival (… and to breathe)

Abstract

I write from my perspective, the perspective of a Black Brazilian woman. From this perspective, I transpose the act of writing in order to survive (… and breathe). A piece of writing, writing that is laden with love, pain, daily experiences, and experiments. "Escrevivência” as writing from the experience of a Black Brazilian woman—sensibilities happen with/in my body in the encounter with the structures of the world. Subversive, insubordinate, and disobedient to the injustices of the world. This work believes that academia and research are potent in contributing to this struggle together with a subversive praxis and the strength of everyday micro‐practices. Take a breath we keep surviving.
