Hisani

Hisani is a 9-year-old boy who lives in Whitehorse, Yukon. He is proud of his Tanzanian heritage and loves making delicious traditional Tanzanian dishes with his dad, like mandazi - his favourite, yum! At the rec centre, Hisani plays basketball, soccer and floor hockey with his friends. One day, he hopes to become a professional hockey player! Hisani is also a talented musician - he's been playing the ngoma drums since he was a baby! After showing us all the instruments that he owns and is learning to play, Hisani receives a special message from a role model who encourages him march to the beat of his own drum. He loves playing music with his dad - it makes him feel connected to his roots! Outside, Hisani takes us sledding on a hill that becomes a desert in the summer.
