Lady was raised in one of the poorest and most crime-ridden neighborhoods in Medellin. She grew up sleeping on the streets and begging for a living before she was sent to an orphanage.

By a twist of fate she is chosen to star in the movie ''La vendedora de rosas'', a movie that won many awards in several international festivals turning her into a star. Unfortunately the fame that was easy to get was easy to lose and Lady eventually returned to her old neighborhood to sell roses. The worst then comes when she is sentenced to 26 years in prison for being involved in the death of a man. Lady protested her innocence but was forced to carry out her sentence.
