Vitória and Júlia patterns are available in the Amipoderosas eBook, which, also, features 8 more professions: lawyer, engineer, merchant marine, lifeguard, chef, sergeant, mailwoman and master builder!

Amipoderosas is a PDF EBOOK ONLY, which aims to
amplify representativeness and empowerment by Amigurumis!

One of our goals is to improve inclusion and representativeness through these dolls and that’s why EACH profession has TWO body patterns. As well, some dolls have specific characteristics as vitiligo, down syndrome and colostomy bag. Once you learned how to do it, you may reproduce it in any of the other dolls.

Moreover, all the hair styles and heads are interchangeable between the amigurumis. Also, you may use wire to make them poseable and we added detailed instructions of how to do a wire skeleton for the dolls. Their heads are moveable without wire and they may turn to any side you want. There are many clothe styles, accessories and hairs and you may interchange them between the dolls.

Julia and Vitoria are biomedical scientists and are part of the team that sequenced a new virus that had just appeared. In less than 48 hours after the first case of infection caused by it in the country, the pair coordinated the team responsible for the study that, later, would assist in the development of the vaccine.

Julia is a black woman and came from a family that went to great lengths to invest in her education: she had no luxury at home, but she studied at the best schools in her city and won a scholarship to improve herself and study Virus Sequencing abroad. Knowing that, since Marie Curie, only 17 women had received the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, or medicine and that, worldwide, only 28% of researchers are women, she realizes the importance of having her work recognized in a world pandemic context.

n her college class, Julia was the only black woman. She also decided to be a teacher, as she considered education the best way to see the transformation in the world and believes that public policies, quotas, and investments in education were responsible for taking black and peripheral people to higher education and to post graduate school..

Vitoria has lived with Crohn’s disease since she was a child and recently had to be ostomized and, therefore, is conditioned to live with the colostomy pouch attached to her belly.One of the symptoms of the disease is having the absorption of nutrients by the body impaired, which ends up delaying the growth and development of the body. Therefore, Vitoria appears to be much younger, and accumulated with the fact that she is a woman, ended up generating a series of situations in which people did not respect her in the professional sphere.

Após ser submetida à cirurgia para ser ostomizada, Vitória também passou a observar a falta de acessibilidade para pessoas com essa deficiência, além de perceber o grande preconceito que existe por ser uma “deficiência invisível”, ou seja, as pessoas esperam que pessoas com deficiência aparentem ter aquela deficiência e acabam contestando, por exemplo, o uso de banheiros acessíveis por pessoas com bolsa de colostomia.

After undergoing surgery to be ostomized, Vitoria also began to observe the lack of accessibility for people with this disability, in addition to realizing the great prejudice that exists for being an “invisible disability”, that is, people expect that people with disabilities show that disability and end up contesting, for example, the use of accessible toilets by people with colostomy bags. Thus, Vitoria started to address this issue in her social media in her free time, acting in a way that raises awareness and brings information not only to society, but that helps people with the same disability to feel represented and lose the fear of talking about it openly, alleviating difficulties and promoting self-acceptance of ostomized bodies.
