Two years ago, I thought I had finally built the life I wanted. Four months later, life asked me to leave it behind.

Since then, I’ve been stretched as a daughter, a mother, a woman, and an entrepreneur. And somehow, in the middle of it all, so much fell into place.

I’ve learned that a detour doesn’t mean the destination has changed.

Cabo Verde, I’ll be home. 🤞🏾🤍🌊🇨🇻 by @lorreta__

I was 15 when I first touched a basketball, 16 when I played my first game, and 17 when I graduated high school. At 18, I left everything familiar behind and moved to the U.S., chasing a full athletic scholarship. Before I left, I had spent a whole year working on my game while pushing myself to master a new language. My parents couldn’t afford college, so I refused to let circumstances decide my future… I built my own path.

I joined a team with great girls who had been playing since childhood, many backed by years of training and families always cheering from the stands. I had none of that. What I had was determination. And that was enough. I earned my place, became one of the team’s captains, built my own tribe, and graduated with a 3.6 GPA.

That chapter was only the beginning. Adulthood brought obstacles, setbacks, moments that could have easily broken me. But every challenge carried a lesson, every setback shaped my resilience, and every “loss” became fuel.

That’s why I’m not afraid to try, to leap, to walk into the unknown. I don’t measure life by wins and losses - I measure it by growth. When fear creeps in, I ask one simple question: What’s the worst that can happen? And almost always, the answer reminds me that fear is louder than reality.

Don’t let fear write your story.
Take the risk. Bet on yourself.
Live boldly. Live abundantly. Live fiercely. by @lorreta__

When both his friend and his barber recommend you to do an NBA player’s hair, you know you’re doing something right. So grateful for the opportunity, especially given that @neemy88 ‘s roots are from Guinea Bissau, Cabo Verde’s brother country🤞🏾✨🫶🏽

Wishing him a healthy and successful season!!! #GoCeltics🍀

Dear HBL babes,

I’M BACK 🤗 After a restorative break and successfully supporting my daughter as she started kindergarten, I’m feeling renewed, recharged, and ready to finish the year strong!

Fall is the perfect season to begin your Microloc journey 🍂 If you know someone who’s been thinking about taking the leap, send this video their way 🤗

At HBL, I’m intentional about creating an environment where you can truly settle in and get comfortable. Catch up on your favorite shows, get some work done, take a nap, or just chat it up with me (my personal favorite 😂). Your appointment is your time, and I want you to enjoy it.

The calendar for the rest of September is officially OPEN, and October appointments will be released on September 15th.

You can book through the link in my bio. 🤎

I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Love,
Lorreta — HBL
