Abstract
Historically and globally, Black people have engaged in practices of maroonage to resist bondage and re-make free homes and communities. In this article, I offer maroons as a keyword and assert that Blackgirls are present-day maroons in plain sight who resist structural bondage and re-make practices of survivance in the pursuit of freedoms on an everyday basis. Through the article, I share and analyze ethnographic data as well as poetry and lyrics written by Blackgirls and womxn who enact their/our resistance and maroonage in plain sight.
