What If It Isn’t Too Late?

 

THE INTRODUCTION

For a long time, I treated my dream of working in sports like something I should have figured out years ago.

I loved basketball. I cared about the stories behind the games, the women changing the sport, and the way a team can make people feel connected to something bigger. But I built my career in healthcare, and the longer I stayed on that path, the easier it became to tell myself I had missed my chance to choose another one.

Then I started asking a different question: What if I’m allowed to begin now?

Welcome to The Amoni Edit. I’m Simone, and this is where I document what happens when I take that question seriously. I’m working toward a future in sports media and communications, especially in women’s basketball. I’m learning, creating, connecting with people, and figuring out what I can bring from the career I’ve already built into the one I hope to build next.

I wanted somewhere to share the process honestly, while I’m still in it. There will be game nights, women in sports who inspire me, creative projects, lessons from starting over, and probably a few moments when I have to remind myself why I began. There will also be everyday life here—the little joys, the changes, and the person I’m becoming outside of any job title.

I don’t have a perfect roadmap. I’m making this blog because I want to remember that I gave myself a chance, even before I knew where it would lead.

And if this space reaches just one person who thought it was too late to go after a dream, or who is only now letting themselves dream again, I hope you feel welcome here. You don’t need to have every step figured out before you take the first one.

This is mine. I’m glad you’re here for it.

With love,
Simone
