Black feminism is a political movement promoted by and for black women, aiming to counteract the triple racist, classist and sexist discrimination that these women face. The discrimination extends to the field of science, including Psychology, promoting the maintenance of the colonization of knowledge and epistemicide in the understanding of social phenomena. It is in this scenario that we question the trajectory of black women who wants to be a psychologist, aim to understand the experiences of black women psychologists, in theirtraining and insertion into the job market, through their own academic productions. As a method, a narrative literature review was used. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the role of black women in Psychology is important, especially in signaling forms of oppression that can be perpetuated in the absence reflections on how current social structures are based on multiple discriminations.
