I consider myself a fighting, inspiring and faith-filled woman.
Interview with Diario Libre Newspaper (9 March 2023)
I describe it as a miracle because a person who is only one year old at an event cannot do this. Only god does that.
As quoted in "Marileidy: «Es un milagro porque una persona que tenga solo un año en un evento no puedo hacer esto»" (6 August 2021)
I feel comfortable and safe when I am on the track. Mine is a natural talent that God has given me to develop. I trust him and therefore I am not afraid.
