This paper proposes to discuss the possible relationships between the poetic work “Um corpo
negro” (2019), by Lubi Prates and the project “Negra flor de sunflower” (started in 2016 and
continues until the present moment), developed in a school in the network. public education
system in the city of Araguaína – TO. Methodologically, it is a qualitative, bibliographic and
documentary study. As theoretical foundation, the following authors and one author were
selected: Ribeiro (2017, 2019), to address the concept of place of speech and that of black
feminism; Berth (2019), to trigger the concept of empowerment, Gomes (2017), to discuss the
Black Educator Movement; Kilomba (2019), to define everyday racism and; Cuti (2010) with
the definition of black-Brazilian literature. Based on theoretical approaches, this study calls
for a reflection on possible paths in the fight against racism, which occur in different social
spaces, to think about the place of speech of black women and to understand the relevance of
black-Brazilian literature, in particular, the poetry. As some results, we point out that the
Project “Negra flor de sunflower” and the book “Um corpo negro” by Lubi Prates are
connected in the struggle for the existence of the black woman's body, as an enunciator of
their experiences and the strengthening of the ethnic-racial identity.
