@tagaloafamily: Three years ago, she picked up a basketball… 🥹🏀 Now she’s preparing to wear the colours of Samoa and represent her people at the U15 FIBA Oceania Cup. Through injuries, setbacks and a season away from the game, she kept showing up. And now… here we are. But God.🤎 Glory belongs to You, Lord🙏🏽 Next week she’s off to Samoa for the national team training camp with her Papa before returning to Auckland for the tournament. This has never just been about basketball. It’s about family, our village, our culture and the generations who came before her. Three years ago, she picked up a ball. Now she gets to carry her people with her 🇼🇸 So proud of you, darling. LET’S GO SAMOA! 🏀🤎 #SamoaBasketball #U15FIBAOceaniaCup #SamoaPride #BasketballJourney #SportsMum
