In this powerful episode of Tray of Truths, I sit down with Bruno Nhavene, a tennis athlete whose journey from Mozambique to the NCAA is built on faith, grit, and family. From the beaches of Africa to jet skis in Florida and the grind of JUCO in Kansas, Bruno opens up about identity, homesickness, brotherhood, and the mental battles we often fight in silence.

We talk about what it means to sacrifice everything for a dream, the pressures of not having a plan B, and why discipline is the real separator. Bruno also shares how his older brother became his anchor and how God showed up for him during one of the darkest moments of his career. Whether you’re in sports, transition, or just trying to figure life out, this one is for you.
