An animated sun waves. Over colourful art on a brick wall are different pictures of children. Under the animated sun, text reads, Sunny’s Quest. Neve pops up in front of a building wearing a winter coat.
She says, HI EVERYBODY, I'M NEVE.
I'M CANADIAN, JAMAICAN,
ST-LUCIAN, GRENADIAN AND I LIVE
IN PICKERING, ONTARIO.
A sign reads, #PickeringProud.
Neve says, THIS IS MY MOM, THIS IS MY
BROTHER AND THIS IS MY DAD.
Outside a house, Neve waves with her family members.
They say, HI.
Inside, Neve says, COME UP TO MY ROOM.
Neve runs up a staircase. On a bed, she holds a globe ball.
She says, THIS IS JAMAICA.
Neve points to the country on the globe. A map shows the country’s location.
Neve says, THIS IS WHERE MY MOM'S FAMILY
ORIGINALLY CAME FROM.
THIS IS SAINT LUCIA AND GRENADA.
The map shows the two country’s location.
Neve says, THIS IS WHERE MY DAD'S FAMILY
ORIGINALLY CAME FROM.
A flag is displayed.
Neve says, I THINK THE SAINT LUCIAN FLAG IS
REALLY PRETTY.
IT'S AN ISLAND AND THE BLUE
REPRESENTS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
AND THE CARIBBEAN SEA THAT
SURROUNDS IT.
THE BLACK AND WHITE MEAN HARMONY
AND FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN ALL
PEOPLE.
THIS IS A GRENADIAN FLAG AND
THIS IS A JAMAICAN FLAG.
The two flags are displayed.
Neve says, WHAT'S NEAT ABOUT ALL THESE
FLAGS IS THAT YELLOW MEANS
SUNSHINE, SUCCESS AND WISDOM FOR
ALL OF THEM AND THE GREEN IS FOR
ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PLANTS THAT
GROW IN THESE DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES.
WOW.
IT'S SO COOL TO BE A MIX OF SO
MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES.
Neve holds a gold basketball.
She says, THIS IS MY GOLDEN BALL.
WHEN I LEFT BASKETBALL CAMP THE
COACHES GAVE ME THIS AND IT'S
SIGNED BY ALL THE WOMAN CANADIAN
PLAYERS.
Neve looks at a piece of art on a wall.
She says, THIS IS A PICTURE THAT MY MOM
MADE.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ME FLYING
WITH FLOWERS.
Neve stands beside a bookshelf.
She says, THIS IS MY PARTICIPATING AWARD
AND MY ACHIEVING AWARD.
She points to the different awards.
She adds, THIS IS MY CROSS COUNTRY AWARD
BECAUSE I WON FIRST.
Neve gestures to notes pinned to a board.
She says, THESE ARE MY INSPIRATION WORDS.
IT HAS LOTS OF INSPIRATIONAL
WORDS ON IT BECAUSE WHEN I FEEL
SAD OR LONELY I'LL LOOK AT THE
BOARD AND IT'LL MAKE ME FEEL
BETTER AND HAPPIER.
The animated sun dances and points to some of the inspirational notes. Neve stands behind a steel pan drum.
She says, ONE OF THE FAVOURITE THINGS I
LIKE TO DO IS PLAY DRUMS.
I'M REALLY PROUD TO BE ONE OF
THE FEW GIRLS IN MY
NEIGHBOURHOOD WHO CAN PLAY.
The animated sun puts on a crown.
Neve says, WE ALSO LIKE TO PLAY O CANADA
ON THE STEEL PAN.
A boy stands behind a steel pan drum near Neve. Text above him reads, Quinton. Neve plays the O Canada melody on the steel pan drum.
She says, WHEN YOU PLAY STEEL PAN IT'S ALL
ABOUT MAKING A COOL MELODY.
Quinton plays the melody on his drum.
Neve says, WHENEVER I HEAR THE STEEL PAN IT
MAKES ME THINK OF THE CARIBBEAN
HERITAGE.
YOU CAN HEAR THAT SOUND ALL OVER
THE ISLANDS.
Elsewhere at night, a building reads, Pickering Soccer centre.
Neve says, I ALSO LOVE SOCCER AND I PLAY 4
TIMES A WEEK.
NOW THAT IT'S COLD OUTSIDE WE
PLAY IN A GIANT SOCCER DOME.
COME AND SEE.
In a soccer dome, Neve is passed a soccer ball.
Neve says, I'M HERE WITH KYLIE, QUINTON AND
COACH JAIME AND WE'RE GONNA
PRACTICE.
YOU PASS THE BALL WITH THE SIDE
OF YOUR FOOT BUT YOU HAVE TO BE
QUICK ON YOUR FEET OR SOMEONE
FROM THE OTHER TEAM CAN STEAL IT
BACK FROM YOU.
KYLIE AND I HAVE PLAYED SOCCER
TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME.
SHE'S A LOT OF FUN.
Neve runs with the ball.
She says, THIS IS HOW YOU SCORE A GOAL.
She kicks the ball into a net behind her coach.
Coach Jaime says, THERE YOU GO,
THAT'S IT.
The animated sun smiles and points to the net.
Neve cheers, YAY.
She high-fives Kylie. Elsewhere, Neve carries tennis balls on a tennis racket. A boy with short black hair does the same.
Neve says, THIS IS MY FRIEND KAARTHIHAN.
Kaarthihan says, HI.
Neve says, TODAY WE'RE PLAYING TENNIS.
People play tennis in a dome.
Neve says, TODAY WE'RE LEARNING HOW TO
SERVE.
WE SERVE TO START A MATCH.
I TRAIN WITH COACH BRIAN.
Coach Brian has short brown hair.
Neve says, FIRST I DO A DOUBLE BOUNCE THEN
MY BALL TOUCHES THE RACKET THEN
I MOVE THE RACKET UP AND TOSS
THE BALL IN THE AIR AND THROW MY
RACKET THROUGH THE BALL.
Neve serves a ball.
She says, IT'S FUN TO PLAY WITH MY FRIEND
KAARTHIHAN.
Neve and Kaarthihan rally on a court.
At home, Neve says, EVERYDAY MY MOM HAS ME PUT MY
HAIR IN NEW STYLES.
She sits at a counter with a book. Her mom stands behind her.
Neve says, I WASH MY HAIR THEN WE PUT ON
THE PRODUCT THEN MY MOM
SEPARATES MY HAIR INTO SECTIONS
THEN TWISTS THEM TOGETHER.
Her mom does her hair.
Neve says, MY HAIR LOCKS TOGETHER AT THE
BOTTOM SO I DON'T NEED ELASTICS.
IT STAYS TOGETHER BY ITSELF.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE STYLES IS A
TWIST OUT.
AFTER THE TWISTS ARE DRY YOU
TAKE THE TWISTS AND TAKE THEM
OUT.
Her mom takes her twists out.
Neve says, CHECK IT OUT.
A TWIST OUT.
THANKS MOM.
Her mom says, YOU'RE WELCOME.
WAIT A MINUTE, I HAVE A
SURPRISE FOR YOU.
Neve looks curious.
She says, WHAT CAN IT BE?
Her mom leaves. The animated sun bursts out of a gift box and blows a party horn. Text reads, Sunny’s Surprise!
Neve’s mom says, I'M SO EXCITED TO SHOW NEVE THIS
VIDEO FROM CANADA'S FIRST BLACK
WOMAN INTERVENTIONAL
CARDIOLOGIST.
SHE'S GONNA FEEL SO SPECIAL,
ENCOURAGED AND MOTIVATED.
Neve looks up from her book.
Her mom says, I KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK AT
SCHOOL AND IN ALL YOUR
ACTIVITIES AND I WANTED TO
PRESENT YOU SOMETHING JUST TO
KEEP INSPIRING YOU TO KEEP
WORKING HARD AND GOING AFTER
YOUR DREAMS.
I HAVE A MESSAGE FROM THE FIRST
BLACK FEMALE INTERVENTIONAL
CARDIOLOGIST IN CANADA.
Neve says, LET ME SEE IT!
She watches a video on a tablet.
The cardiologist says, HI NEVE.
THIS IS DR. ALEX BASTIANY.
I REALLY WANT TO SAY THAT I AM
SO IMPRESSED WITH EVERYTHING
THAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR.
ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS WAS HOW
DID I MAKE IT THROUGH ALL THE
OBSTACLES?
I WOULD SAY ONLY PAY ATTENTION
TO WHAT BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO
YOUR GOAL AND TO YOUR DREAMS AND
JUST LIKE IN SOCCER YOU'LL HAVE
WINS AND LOSSES BUT DON'T LET
THAT STOP YOU.
FIND YOUR PASSION AND DO
EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE
IT HAPPEN.
BEING THE FIRST BLACK FEMALE
INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGIST IN
CANADA IS GREAT BUT WHAT IS
REALLY AMAZING IS TO SHOW THE
WORLD THAT BLACK GIRL MAGIC IS
REAL.
Neve says, WOW THAT WAS REALLY
INSPIRATIONAL AND ENCOURAGING.
Paintings hang on walls.
Neve says, THIS IS A PAINTING I'M WORKING
ON.
IT'S A SELF-PORTRAIT.
I LIKE PAINTING STRONG GIRLS
WITH BEAUTIFUL CURLY HAIR AND
BROWN SKIN.
PAINTING IS MY FAVOURITE WAY TO
CREATE AND CELEBRATE WHO I AM.
THIS IS MY FRIEND NAOMI.
WE LOVE TO PAINT TOGETHER.
Naomi wears her long black hair in braids. She wears a red sweater. She and Neve sit on opposite sides of a table with a blank canvas between them.
Naomi asks, WHAT ARE WE PAINTING TODAY?
Neve says, I THINK WE SHOULD PAINT
BLACK GIRL MAGIC.
She starts painting the canvas with pink paint.
She says, FIRST WE'RE MAKING A BACKGROUND.
Naomi paints her side of the canvas with blue paint. Neve dips a paint brush in yellow paint. She paints between the pink and blue paint on the canvas.
Neve says, IT REMINDS ME OF A SUNSET.
Naomi paints a letter B on the blue background with white paint.
Neve says, PAINTING MAKES ME FEEL CALM AND
RELAXED.
WANT TO SEE
WHAT WE CREATED?
She and Naomi hold up their completed painting that reads, Black Girl Magic.
Together, the girls say, BLACK GIRL MAGIC!
Neve says, WELL THAT WAS FUN.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED
YOUR TIME WITH US.
BYE.
