Ingrid Nogueira is a stunning, 26 year old singer, composer and model from Foz do Jutaí, a small town in the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
Ingrid has been a wheelchair user for all her life because of Congenital Muscular Dystrophy(CMD). In Ingrid’s case, the condition left the muscles around her pelvis without any strength or function. As a result of this, she has never been able to walk, stand, or sit upright independently. She also has a serious deformity in her spine because her pelvis could never support the weight of her upper body.
Every once in a while, Ingrid’s condition surely comes with some challenges, but Ingrid has an exceptionally positive attitude so she isn’t really bothered by these issues. She does admit though that she has been very lucky that her condition isn’t in it’s progressive state anymore and that her upper her body isn’t affected at all. This allows her to live completely independent of others. She is also very happy that she can use a manual wheelchair, which is something she really likes because it accentuates her independency and makes it a lot easier for her to travel as it is much smaller and lighter than an electric wheelchair.
Ingrid has always been a very outgoing person and a good student who has lots of hobbies. She’s very passionate about music, is a gifted guitar player and a beautiful singer. Besides that, she loves fashion, photography and regularly works as a model. In her spare time, she loves spending time with friends and family, visit concerts and going to the beach.
