Sirena

Sirena is a 10-year-old girl from Montreal, Quebec, who is so super proud of her Haitian and Dominican Republic heritage that she even gets the colour of the flags painted on her nails! Sirena and her best friend show off their best dance moves - “Bachata” – a style of music and dance from the Dominican Republic and the Haitian “Kompa” which is influenced by jazz. Sirena also enjoys modelling and is excited to show off her traditional dresses from both Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Once she has taken us on a tour of her bedroom, where she displays her prized medals for gymnastics, she then heads to the gymnastics center where she trains almost every day! After working up an appetite, she finally sits down for bite to eat at her favourite Dominican restaurant for some fried plantain - Dominican style! Plantains can be salty or sweet depending on WHEN you fry them, but either way, she thinks they’re delicious!! Sirena’s day gets even better when she receives an inspiring message that encourages her to keep doing all that she loves to do!
