He lacked oxygen at birth and the doctors said he would never be able to walk. At most, at 15 she will drag herself with some style. But Miriam took her first step at the age of four and hasn’t stopped walking since then..
Her parents, too young and locked in a labyrinth of addictions, gave her up for adoption to the family that ran her daycare when she was just a baby. And she became the youngest of seven siblings, impossible to be less alone.
Everyone thought she was crazy when she decided to jump into the pool, literally. And she maintained the title of Spanish champion for four years and stayed at the gates of the Paralympic team.
They thought, again, that she had lost her mind when she abandoned swimming at the gates of glory to become an actress; with her walker she had a very limited career and there would be no roles for her. So she became a playwright and composed her own texts with which she continues to spin, 16 years later.
What was that girl doing who couldn’t stand without support facing a teenage Rosala in a television talent show? Well, destroy. “It wasn’t his time,” he excuses the planetary star.

The existence of Miriam Fernndez It has been an obstacle course, each crueler, each more disabling for anyone in his situation. And yet, here he is, on a Monday morning, remembering it all once again while Pedro Sánchez tells me whether he resigns or not. The whole country looking at the Moncloa and she looking inward again. The story of her life.
Only today Miriam is no longer Miriam. And there is no walker in the room. Sitting in the studio where she has recorded her new album, a journey far beyond the disability that launched her to exemplary fame, appears Renata, a woman empowered by hosts who rose from her ashes in the worst moment of her life, which was also the best. You will have already realized that our protagonist is a woman of contrasts.
Miriam Fernndez sale en The voice with her cart, she is ‘the girl with cerebral palsy who surpassed Rosala’. AND I am not my cerebral palsy. I don’t want to be seen as that disabled girl who likes to sing, but as an artist with her own identity. Let the walker be just a complement. In the end, it’s what it is for me in my life, Renata says, and without realizing it she straightens up in her chair. She comes up, and she shows it.
Renata herself says that this new identity that starts from scratch on social networks and platforms of streaming, such is the break with the previous, is Miriam’s evolution after one of the hardest moments of her life. Because she passed all of the above without falling to the bottom of the well, but when she announced that she was getting married and encountered reluctance and bad words from her friends, nothing could stop her fall.
It was brutal, in the most beautiful moment of my life they treated me terribly, with great cruelty. It broke me and it had a domino effect, as if the blindfold fell off my eyes. I short-circuited my head and half of the people I had relied on for the last 20 years died for me, she remembers. I returned as an adult to bullying that she had already suffered as a child. Miriam’s legs had never hurt before but she needed an injection to be able to get to the altar.
In return, Renata has staged the video clip for her latest single, Ghosting, in the room where he said yes, I want. And whoever wants to understand, let him understand.
His music mixes traditional choirs with the most current urban rhythms and his lyrics allow a religiosity to emerge without a filter that in his first album, Dancing in the Rain, only showed slightly. I have done what I wanted, I have stopped really carrying myself and I may not succeed, but at least it will have served as vindication. My name is Renata because I have been reborn from everything that has happened to me in life and this is not going to be any less.. I was always a woman, even though they treated me like a child with a disability who needed overprotection. This new self no longer has a complex when it comes to talking about God, she says.
Miriam and Renata, indivisible since they met, are stubborn and impulsive, and that has brought them some displeasure but also endless opportunities. My mother reached a point, when she was 15, when she decided that she should do whatever I wanted, she assumes. And she arrived at that talent contest that would catapult her to fame. She saw the advertisement on television and when she realized she already had the phone in her hand. Shortly after, she was proclaimed winner of the second edition of You know what you are worthin 2011, and began a life in the spotlight in which he found the answer he was looking for so much. All my life I had wondered why everything that happened to me happened to me, until I changed the question to why.he explains in his dozens of conferences around the world, in which he appeals to enjoy the little things and value successes in the right measure.
And what has been the greatest success in a career full of achievements? Doing what I like, surrounded by the people I care about and being at peace, having mind, body and heart in harmony. Whether I achieve more or achieve less, I can say that I have achieved it for myself, she says.
Renata’s album, Metanoia, promises not to leave anyone indifferent. The most conservative sector has put its hands on its head with 12 songs dedicated to God in an unorthodox way. Non-believers find fewer obstacles to his message. The girl with the walker has fulfilled her mission.
