Tamara Abdalla Puia is a stunning 29 year old model from Indaiatuba, a city in the Brazilian state of São Paulo.
Tamara was born with spina bifida myelomeningocele. This is a condition in which there grows a malformation in the spine during pregnancy that causes damage to various parts of the spinal column, including the spinal cord. As Tamara’s spinal cord was completely severed, she never had any feeling in her legs and has been paralyzed from the waist down her entire life.
As long as everyone around her can remember, Tamara always loved photography. She really liked taking pictures but also loved being in the spotlights herself. Tamara always got lots of compliments on the photos she shared on her social media and slowly but surely she started doing more and more modeling jobs. She now shares lots of her projects on Instagram where she now almost has 3000 followers. If you’re interested, feel free to check out the link down below!
Besides photography and modeling, Tamara often spends time with friends and family, loves a day at the beach and really likes to swim. She also loves dancing, listening to music and regularly goes to concerts.
Tamara really doesn’t mind living with spina bifida. She’s capable of doing whatever she wants and lives completely independent from others. She never really talks about her disability but did remark that —even if she had the choice— she wouldn’t choose to live her life any other way!
Clara Pereira is a stunning, 18 year old, model and blogger from Garanhuns, a city in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco.
Clara was born with spina bifida myelomeningocele. This is a spinal malformation which damages the spinal cord in varying degrees of severity. Because Clara’s spinal cord was completely severed, she never had any feeling in her legs and has been completely paralyzed from the waist down her entire life. As the muscles in her legs didn’t develop properly, she also has some very slight deformities in her feet. Luckily, Clara’s upper body wasn’t affected at all and she never had any serious health issues.
Clara states she really doesn’t mind being in a wheelchair. She always strives to live life to the fullest and emphasizes that even if she had the choice, she wouldn’t want to live her life in any other way.
Next to her studies, Clara is often surrounded by friends with whom she loves to go shopping, check out movies at the cinema or have a day out at an amusement park. Besides that, she can often be found at the beach and loves to swim.
Clara has always been very interested in fashion and was never shy about having her picture taken. Inspired by models on social media and encouraged by her friends and parents, she now regularly poses in photo shoots!
Clara has her own Instagram page where she gives a cool insight in her life and where you can also see some of her work!

Nursina Galieva is a 27 year old wheelchair dancer and model from Moscow, the Russian capital.
She was born with spina bifida myelomeningocele. This is a condition in which there grows a malformation in the spine during pregnancy that causes damage to various parts of the spinal column, including the spinal cord. It can range from mild to severe, depending on the shape, size, and location of the malformation. In Nursina’s case, the spinal cord became completely severed. Because of this she never had any feeling in her legs and she has been paralyzed from the waist down for all her life.
Nursina always had a very positive outlook on life and she’s always been known for her spontaneous and outgoing character. As a child, she had lots of friends with whom she loved to play and hang out with. As Nursina grew older she also developed a growing interest for music, and at parties she was never shy to dance along with everyone else.
In 2011, a friend suggested that Nursina should try the sport of wheelchair dancing. “Right away I understood that I wanted to take it up. Everything came together for me, and I found a partner practically right away.” It didn’t take long before she decided to start dancing competively and she now dances in tournaments throughout Russia and Europe. Her biggest achievement as of today was winning a bronze medal at the 2019 World Dancing Championships in Bonn, Germany.
While dancing always comes first for Nursina she also loves fashion, modeling and photography. She was crowned Miss Independence in 2013 and won the “Pearl of Tatarstan” beauty contest, held in the Russian city of Kazan!
Besides all this, Nursina loves to play pool, swimming, going to the beach or go on road trips with her car. She is also an avid traveler and doesn’t shy back for the more extreme activities like skydiving, which she has already done for three times!
Geovana Luiza is a stunning 21 year old model, blogger and vlogger from Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.
Geovana was born with spina bifida myelomeningocele. This is a congenital condition in which there grows a malformation in the spine during pregnancy causing damage to the spinal cord. In Geovana’s case, her spinal cord was completely severed and she was diagnosed with a complete spinal cord injury. Because of this, she has been paralysed from her waist down for all her life and never had any feeling in her lower limbs. She also has a serious degree of both scoliosis and kyphosis(an unnatural sideways and front-to-back curvature of the spine).
Besides this, she also has a condition called hydrocephalus, meaning that there was an abnormal buildup of fluid in her brain. This could luckily be solved by the placing of a tube that drains the excess amount of liquid(also known as a shunt).
Because of the excellent treatment she received in the hospital, Geovana grew up in perfect health. Nonetheless, she often noticed she was looked at in a different way because of her wheelchair. For example, people often think she needs help with practically anything and there have even been cases where she was approached as if she was mentally disabled because of her wheelchair!
These prejudices couldn’t be further from the truth though. Of course, changing a lightbulb would be very difficult for her, but outside these kind of things, she lives completely independent from others and does everything by herself.
To get rid of these kinds of prejudices and to educate people about the life of people with disabilities, Geovana started a YouTube channel where she talks about her life as a wheelchair user. If you’re interested, just check out the link down here ⬇️

Love. Anger. Passion… One color covers a lot

Although from a glance this song may seem like its about a person, it’s more of a dialog between mother nature, the universe, society, technology, myself and the relationships between them. It also relates to past events in my life and the current state of the world but I want to clarify that it has nothing to do with the recent forest fires that have been devastating the country.
