WHY I started

Rewind to a 15-year-old Daniela, an exchange student brimming with curiosity and the anticipation of discovery. On a chilly evening, her warm-hearted host family swept her off to a pulsating arena where the Chicago Bulls faced the New York Knicks. As the vibrant energy surged through the crowd, her eyes widened at the first sight of the court, illuminated under the dazzling lights, and the players, embodiments of dedication, agility, and strength.

In that mesmerizing whirl, there he was – Michael Jordan, the epitome of basketball brilliance, commanding the court with unparalleled grace, precision, and an unwavering winning mindset. As he soared through the air, defying the bounds of gravity, Daniela's heart echoed with the resounding beats of the game. The magnetic pull was undeniable. The Bulls emerged victorious, and in the echo of the triumphant roars, a lifelong passion was kindled in the heart of a young girl, leaving an indelible imprint.
