Black woman writer, Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, Epistolary essayAbstract
This text constitutes an epistolary essay constructed from the reflections proposed by the writer Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida in her essay What it is to be a Black woman writer today, according to me (2017). Based on the theorization about writing using this theoretical text as a basis, I seek to understand my own writing process by approaching the issues raised by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, as well as my own reflections on the society I inhabit and the racial intersections that strain existing relationships. To this end, I also use memoir writing, which lives between the threshold of fiction and reality, to compose fragments, which also propose to carry out a creative exercise during theorization. This carries a dialogical and reflective space, in which theory and writing meet to talk about the writing of Black women in Brazil.
