Resumo: This manuscript examines how Afro-Brazilian women YouTubers employ the strategy of challenging racism, sexism and colorism through their own articulations of Black Brazilian  feminism.  They are not a part of feminist organizations but are a new form of activists as they are digital social activists. Their strategies are educating their audiences and challenging their audiences to change the way they think about and treat Black women so that viewers do not produce racism and sexism    while empowering Afro-Brazilian women and girls. I argue these YouTubers are engaged in black feminist digital activism. These women draw on media from Brazil and the USA thus are engaging how oppression works in both countries with a focus on Brazil. YouTube is another platform that scholars should consider when thinking about digital activism.

Elas não fazem parte de organizaçõesfeministas, mas são uma nova forma de ativistas, pois são ativistas sociais digitais. Suasestratégias são educar o público e desafiar o público a mudar a forma como pensam etratam as mulheres negras, de modo que o público não produza racismo e sexismo,enquanto fortalecem as mulheres e meninas afro-brasileiras. Eu argumento que essasyoutubers estão engajadas no ativismo digital negro-feminista. Essas mulheres utilizamos meios de comunicação do Brasil e dos EUA, portanto, estão engajadas em como aopressão funciona nos dois países, com foco no Brasil. O YouTube é outra plataforma queos estudiosos devem considerar quando pensam em ativismo digital.Abecan2018-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufpel.edu.br/index.php/interfaces/article/view/1403110.15210/interfaces.v18i3.14031Interfaces Brasil/Canadá; v. 18 n. 3 (2018): Postcolonial and Intersectional studies.
