In this article, we explore the decolonial feminist's contribution to the study of precarity and explain the role of storytelling in legitimizing the knowledge of 'the other' in the activism/critique of decolonial feminism. The article offers a critique of the recent conceptualization of precarity that tends to ignore the history of racialized and feminized bodies, and charts decolonial feminists' conception of storytelling, in particular through Anzaldúa's, Mohanty's and Motta's work, as a way to gain political standing and offer possibilities to deal with precarity. By revealing the colonial and racial intersections shaping universal pretensions of precarity and how storytelling is a form of resistance and healing practice, this article contributes to bringing the South's own gaze to the actions the precarious might need today: that of transformative ethics recognizing differences rather than a universal individual and expressing the relationality of time and people in communities
