We're not just a basketball squad; we're a close-knit crew that knows how to have a good time on and off the court.

I believe that by tapping into my cultural background, I can contribute unique perspectives and ideas that enrich our collective experience. The video on the right side is from Afro Night, an event I thoroughly enjoyed attending.
