Abstract

The article seeks to reflect on the intersections of oppressions in BBB from TV Globo. It has as corpus editions from 2020 to 2022, with black women in their narratives. We conducted a descriptive analysis of videos and commentaries on the reality, resorting to the notion of escrevivência and using thinkers of black feminism and intersectionality. We consider that BBB reproduces intersectional oppressions and discourses of violence, discrimination and subordination of black women.
