Overview
«Mi vida se rompió muchas veces, pero cada vez fui encontrando piezas nuevas que no sabía que existían.»
Crecer como okupa en un barrio complicado de Alcalá de Henares y dentro de los Testigos de Jehová marcó los límites de lo que Noemí creía que podía soñar. Aprendió desde niña a obedecer y a sentirse barro en manos de otros.
Pero su vida estaba destinada a romperse muchas veces: un accidente que casi la destroza, un matrimonio impuesto por la culpa, una expulsión de los Testigos que la dejó completamente sola y alejada de su familia… y la certeza de que, para seguir adelante, tenía que encontrar algo que nunca le habían enseñado: su propia voz.
En estas páginas, Noemí cuenta sin filtros cómo reconstruyó su vida mientras lidiaba con conflictos familiares, el reto de la maternidad, un diagnóstico que la obligó a mirarse de otra manera y la cara menos amable de convertirse en un rostro público. De los portales del barrio al photocall, de la obediencia a la libertad. Una vida imperfecta y valiente.
No sabes de dónde vengo es un recordatorio de que no importa cuántas veces te rompan: siempre puedes volver a empezar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“My life has been broken many times, but each time I found new pieces that I didn’t know existed.”
Growing up as a squatter in a tough neighborhood in Alcalá de Henares and within the Jehovah’s Witnesses set the limits of what Noemí believed she could dream of. From childhood, she learned to obey and feel like clay in the hands of others.
But her life was destined to be broken many times: an accident that almost destroyed her, a marriage imposed by guilt, expulsion from the Witnesses that left her completely alone and estranged from her family... and the certainty that, in order to move forward, she had to find something she had never been taught: her own voice.
In these pages, Noemí recounts without filters how she rebuilt her life while dealing with family conflicts, the challenge of motherhood, a diagnosis that forced her to see herself in a different light, and the less pleasant side of becoming a public figure. From the neighborhood gateways to the photocall, from obedience to freedom. An imperfect and courageous life.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE I COME FROM is a reminder that no matter how many times you get broken, you can always start over.
