Miracle

"I am fulfilling my dreams as an actress, model, and fashion content creator on Instagram and TikTok."

My name is Miracle and I am an actor, Model, and Fashion Content Creator with mild Spastic Diplegia cerebral palsy. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I have always wanted to spread a positive light with Cerebral Palsy in the most creative of ways. After my parents took me to go see The Miracle Worker the play on my 12th birthday, I noticed right away that the actress playing Helen Keller who was able bodied playing a disabled character. I turned to my dad and said I was going to change that and so I got into theater at 14 and started acting professionally at 20. What I wish people knew about cerebral palsy is that it doesn’t limit us to fulfill our dreams and our passions. We might have to do things a little differently but our lives are our very own and we have to believe that we can use our talents to use them to be a voice for so many others. I was 8 months old when I was diagnosed with CP and I have always seen it as a beautiful testimony of God’s love to give people hope.
