Biography

She also has roots in Africa, as she was born in Palermo to Ivorian parents. A difficult past, marked by economic hardship but also by great acts of generosity from the part of those who Miriam, now, likes to consider part of her own family. Even starting volleyball was not easy, but her tenacity combined with the intuition of her first coach drove her to keep going. She is about to experience the Olympics in an almost unexpected way, convinced, after the Grand Prix in 2015, of having to give up her place to the senior players. The coach, however, believed in her and named her in the team, so that her Olympic dream became a reality.
