Anaële

Anaële is an 11-year-old girl from Ottawa, Ontario. Her family is from Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Anaële is very connected to her faith, which means a lot to her and her family. She is also a talented artist - her sketch books are filled with impressive drawings! In the kitchen, Anaële teaches us how to cook pondu, her favourite Congolese dish - yum! One day, Anaële hopes to become a professional basketball player for the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). On the court, she practices her skills with her younger sister Ariana, who is grateful to have such an understanding big sister. Anaële's special surprise comes from a role model who is also passionate about her favourite sport. When she isn't drawing or playing basketball, she and sister Ariana like to play card games together. After, Anaële brings us to her African theater classes, where she explores all kinds of art forms and tells us about her favourite African mask!
