𝗜 𝗙𝗘𝗟𝗟. 𝗜 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗. 🇨🇻🫂

On August 1, 2025, my life changed. The work I studied for and loved was suddenly put on hold. 🛩️

Instead of giving up, I found my way back to creating content and sharing Cabo Verde’s story with the world. None of this would be possible without belief, community, and special people like you. Obrigado! 🇨🇻❤️

For 433 days, I faced uncertainty, pain, and a long wait, along with mental and physical battles, while searching for a new way forward.

I’m grateful for this challenge. It showed me what I’m capable of, and reminded me how much I still have to learn. I’ll keep learning and growing. Thank you for your patience, guidance, and genuine love. ❤️

Today, surgery day is finally here. The road back will take 8–12 months, but I’m stepping into this next chapter with faith, gratitude, and purpose.

I started doing content back in 2011 and was successful in the platforms I used, but the World Cup gave me a platform to serve our people and share Cabo Verde with the world. 🚀

To everyone who showed me love from Cabo Verde to Brazil, Haiti, Argentina, Spain, and everywhere in between, thank you. Every message, share, and word of support carried me. 🫂

When life changes your plan, use your imagination to create a new one. Put God first, keep creating, and keep going.

“Struck down, but not destroyed.” — 2 Corinthians 4:9

This is not the end of my story. The comeback starts now. Your mind is your power. God is your foundation. 🇨🇻🙏

Nós Povo. Nós Storia. Nós Orgulho. Nós Futuro. 🇨🇻
