The dissertation Among Threads and Stories: Weaving with These Black-Mother-Researcher Women in Education proposes to weave with the experiences of Black women who are mothers and researchers, spinning their trajectories of resistance, struggle, and existence in the field of education. In the preparation of the threads, escrevivência (life-writing) emerges as an ethical-political practice, and through the reinvention of lived experiences, the biografema (biographeme) acts as a line that captures fragments of these stories, highlighting seemingly insignificant details that, when narrated, gain strength. Thus, the narratives of these and with these women are reframed through a biographeme-infused escrevivência. The threads are interwoven through conversations that arise from collective encounters, where community is formed around the stories that emerge from each woman's lived experience. In this symbolic loom, the experiences of motherhood and academia are woven together with delicacy and strength, composing a fabric that does not follow rigid patterns but is instead reinvented with each new thread of resistance. Each voice is a thread; each verse, a weave that connects to the next, forming a tapestry of struggles, affections, and insurgencies, a tangle of lives that challenges the oppressions of race, gender, and class. This is a handcrafted dissertation. It has been spun and unraveled as many times as the stories it holds. Words were remade and undone like loose threads, while the fibers traced the paths of Black women weaving their lives between motherhood and the university, confronting the apparent neutrality of academic norms. The path crossed multiple territories, many marked by silent pain. Amid twists and detours, a recurring question echoed: what brought us to this search? No singular answers emerged—only fragments of experience that, with each new thread cast, composed a collective weave. Each chapter of this thesis opens with a short fictional-narrative text—crafted by myself, a researcher-artisan who weaves collectively, who fabulates, imagines, and creates fissures in the act of researching. These story-poems introduce the themes that follow and open cracks for a writing that disobeys, that embroiders other possibilities of thinking, feeling, and narrating research. The structure of the thesis is also guided by weaving gestures: it begins by finding the end of the thread, moves through the preparation of threads, enters the looms of writing, and reaches the moment of weaving the experiences. Each part is traversed by a thread that stitches together theory, sensibility, and lived experience. This construction is born from an imagined dialogue between Conceição Evaristo and Roland Barthes—she, who writes with her body and life; he, who reads the world through fragments and details. Between the two, I learned to spin: each chapter, a stitch; each fragment, a fold that unsettles the fabric of academic writing. Finally, the last chapter does not conclude the thesis: it leaves a thread loose—an open invitation for continuity. A thread that stretches on, open to new weavings and the possibility that other women may embroider their own escrevivências within the field of education.
