Resumo: This research aims to explore the work experiences of Black women in executive leadership positions, considering the multiple factors that influence their professional trajectories. We aim to analyze how Black women perceive their career paths and discuss the transformations that have occurred in the labor market for this social group. Additionally, we seek to identify how these women assign meaning to their work experiences. To achieve this, we outlined the following specific objectives: a) investigate the professional experiences of Black women, describing the opportunities they identify and cultivate in their work environments; b) explore how these women construct meaning and assign significance to their professional experiences; c) observe how improvements in working conditions impact their lives, generating transformations in their families and communities. The analytical foundation of this research is anchored at the intersection of Socio-Historical Psychology and theories developed by Black Latin American feminist intellectuals. Interviews were conducted with seven Black women who are active or in transition in their career, all currently occupying executive positions. The group is composed of cisgender women, two of whom self-identify as mixed-race (pardas) and five as Black (pretas)1. Their ages range from 35 to 50. As for sexual orientation, four identify as heterosexual, and three as bisexual. The interviews were analyzed through the lens of Socio-Historical Psychology, focusing on the production of meanings related to work and how these experiences shape the participants’ subjectivities. For data analysis, we utilized “nuclei of meaning” as a methodological strategy, enabling the identification of central themes that emerged from the narratives and directly dialogued with the reflections developed during the literature review. From this analysis, three nuclei of meaning were constructed, guiding the reflections and revealing the complex dynamics within the participants’ experiences
