I Hope We Have More Of This Stuff On School - Tumblr Posts

Hey yall

I just want to show you guys a thing I did today at school

We had a project in which a class from another year showed us the history and how to make this doll called "Abayoni"

They are dolls from the time of slavery in Brazil made by black women who, in order to distract their children, tore off a piece of their skirts and make the dolls

I called mine "Maria Joaninha" because everyone who looked at her remembered Ladybug (the superhero), and in portuguese, "ladybug" means joaninha (the insect in this case)
