I'M NINE YEARS OLD AND I'M
A CANADIAN BURUNDIAN CHILEAN.
Dark green text reads, “Canadian.” Light green text reads, “Burundian.” Yellow text reads, “Chilean.” The animated sun waves on an animated map showing the location of Toronto. Orange text reads, “Toronto.”

Nicole says, I’M FROM TORONTO,
THE FIFTH LARGEST CITY IN
NORTH AMERICA. AND WHERE
ALMOST THREE MILLION PEOPLE LIVE.
Green text reads, “Three million people.” Nicole sits on the arm of a sofa. Her family sits on the sofa. A man with short white hair holds the guitar to her left. A woman with long black hair sits beside him. A young girl with her black hair in pigtails sits beside the woman. Text over them, from left to right, reads, “Dad, Mom, Sister.”
Nicole says, MY FAMILY AND
I LIVE TOGETHER IN A CONDO.
Nicole’s family waves and says, HI!
Nicole says, WE LOVE TO SING
AND MAKE MUSIC VIDEOS TOGETHER.
WE RECORD OUR SONGS
ON THE MICROPHONE.
THEN MY DAD REMIXES
AND MAKES SOUND AWESOME.
SINGING AND MAKING MUSIC
MAKES ME FEEL SO GREAT.
COME, I'LL SHOW YOU MY ROOM.
Soon, Nicole stands in her bedroom.
Nicole says, IN KARATE,
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT
COLORED BELTS TO SHOW
WHAT LEVEL YOU'RE IN.
WHEN YOU START,
YOU GET A WHITE BELT.
THEN AS YOU GET BETTER,
YOU GO FROM WHITE TO YELLOW
TO ORANGE TO GREEN
TO BLUE, TO PURPLE TO BROWN.
Belts ranging from white up to brown are displayed on Nicole’s wall.
Nicole says, AND THEN YOU GET
YOUR BLACK BELT.
[Chiming, upbeat music continues]
Nicole holds an inflated globe. Green text on an animated map shows the location of “Burundi.” Yellow text reads, “Kirundi and French.” Yellow text reads, “Chile.”
[Whooshing]
Nicole says, MY DAD WAS BORN
IN BURUNDI, WHICH IS HERE ON
THE GLOBE. THEY SPEAK KIRUNDI
AND FRENCH HERE.
MY MOTHER GREW UP IN CHILE,
WHICH IS THE REASON
I KNOW HOW TO SPEAK SPANISH.
Nicole sits on the sofa. A fluttering Burundian flag appears over her shoulder. It features a white circle in the centre with a line stretching to each of the corners. Three red stars are in the circle, one on top and two on the bottom. The top and bottom sections of the flag are red. The two sides are green.
[Mellow music plays]
Nicole says, OVER HERE IS MY
BURUNDIAN FLAG.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT
THREE STARS STANDS FOR THE THREE
ETHNIC GROUPS OF BURUNDI.
THE RED REPRESENTS THE POWER
AND STRUGGLE OF BURUNDI'S
FREEDOM FIGHTERS
WITH GREEN SYMBOLIZING HOPE
AND WHITE PEACE. IN THE MIDDLE,
THE WHITE CIRCLE REPRESENTS
THE ROYAL DRUM.
THE ROYAL DRUM IS USED FOR
CELEBRATION AND SYMBOLIZES POWER.
IN THE MEANTIME, LET'S LEARN
SOME BURUNDIAN DANCE MOVES.
JOIN ME.
Later, Nicole wears a green leaf-patterned dress fastened around the waist of her red tee-shirt. A woman wears a red and green dress fastened over a white dress. Green text beneath the woman reads, “Coco Murray.”
[Upbeat music plays, chiming]
Nicole says, I'M PRACTICING A
BURUNDIAN DANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
WITH MY TEACHER, MISS COCO MURRAY.
BURUNDIAN TRADITIONAL CLOTHING
IS MADE OF BEAUTIFUL FABRICS
AND IT'S FUN TO DANCE IN.
THIS ON IS CALLED AN INVUTANO.
Yellow text reads, “Invutano.”
Miss Coco Murray asks, READY?
Nicole says, YEAH.
Green text reads, “Amagaba dance.”
Nicole says, WE ARE DOING THE
AMAGABA DANCE.
WE WEAR BELLS OR SHELLS
ON OUR ANKLES TO ADD TO
THE BEAT.
[Rattling, slide whistle, chime]
Nicole says, BURUNDI IS FAMOUS
FOR OUR TRADITIONAL DRUMMING
KNOWN AS THE RITUAL DANCE
OF THE ROYAL DRUM.
IT'S THE COOLEST LIVE SHOW
THAT USES POWERFUL,
SYNCHRONIZED DRUMMING
WITH SOME DANCING.
THE BURUNDIAN GOVERNMENT
EVEN SAID THAT YOU NEED
ITS PERMISSION TO PERFORM
THE RITUAL DANCE.
BUT MY MUM AND DAD
ALLOWED ME TO DANCE TODAY
BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART
OF MY BURUNDIAN HERITAGE.
NOW YOU TRY.
[Chiming]
A sign over a doorway reads, “Northern Karate. Rooted in Tradition. Shaping the Future.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Nicole says, I SPEND AT LEAST
THREE DAYS A WEEK AT THE
NORTHERN KARATE SCHOOL.
Red text appears beneath a man with a shaved head. The text reads, “Kyoshi Dominic.” Green text beneath a boy with long blond hair reads, “Adam.”
Nicole says, MY INSTRUCTOR, KYOSHI
DOMINIC, HAS BEEN HELPING ME
FOR A VERY LONG TIME,
AND ADAM IS HELPING ME TRAIN.
Kyoshi Dominic and Adam say, HI!
Nicole explains, KYOSHI MEANS
ADVANCED TEACHER.
Blue text reads, “Kyoshi equals Advanced Teacher.”
[Chiming, background chatter, smacking, upbeat music plays]
Nicole narrates, KARATE TEACHES
YOU HOW TO USE ALL PARTS OF
YOUR BODY FOR SELF-DEFENSE.
I'M ONLY NINE YEARS OLD,
BUT I PASSED ALL MY LEVELS.
AND NOW I'M PRACTICING
HARD TO GET MY BLACK BELT.
NOW THAT I'M TRYING TO
REACH THAT LEVEL, I ALSO
GET TO WORK WITH WEAPONS.
BUT, YOU KNOW, KARATE ISN'T
JUST ABOUT FIGHTING AND
BEATING YOUR OPPONENT.
IT TEACHES YOU
HOW TO CALM YOUR MIND,
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF,
AND FIND THE STRENGTH
THAT’S IN YOU.
Nicole and Adam give thumbs up.
[Slide whistle, chiming]
Nicole stands beside a girl with long brown hair. They both wear ballcaps.
[Upbeat music plays]
Nicole says, ANOTHER IMPORTANT
THING THAT I ALWAYS REMEMBER
TO DO IS HAVE FUN AND PLAY
WITH MY FRIENDS.
A sign reads, “Welcome to Toronto Zoo.” Red text over Nicole’s friend reads, “Rachel.” Rachel and Nicole ride a carousel.
Nicole says, TODAY, MY FRIEND
RACHEL, MY FAMILY AND I ARE
GOING TO THE TORONTO ZOO.
I JUST LOVE GOING THERE
BECAUSE I'M PLANNING TO BE
A DOCTOR OR A VETERINARIAN.
I WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE
LIKE TO TAKE CARE OF SOME
OF THESE AMAZING ANIMALS.
LOOK, THEY HAVE PURPLE TONGUES.
A young giraffe licks a zookeeper’s hand.
[Slurping]
Green text beside an animated crocodile reads, “Gustave.”
Rachel asks, DID YOU KNOW THAT
YOU COULD FIND THE BIGGEST
CROCODILE IN BURUNDI, TOO?
THE CROCODILE NAME IS GUSTAF.
HE'S EIGHTEEN FEET AND TWO
THOUSAND POUNDS. THAT'S
ALMOST AS LONG AS SCHOOL BUS.
An animated school bus stops by Nicole.
[Squeaking brakes]
Nicole says, YIKES.
I WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE
TO SEE THESE ANIMALS IN BURUNDI
ONE DAY.
[Nicole sighs, background chatter]
Nicole says, DAD, I'M HUNGRY.
Nicole’s father says, REALLY?
LET'S GO HOME AND HAVE
SOME UBUGARI.
Nicole shouts, YUMMY!
A voice says, YEAH. LET'S GO.
At home, Nicole, her mother, father and sister sit at a round table with plates of food in front of them. Red text reads, “Ubugari.” Blue text reads, “Fufu.”
[Chiming, upbeat music plays]
Nicole says, WOW. WE REALLY
WORKED UP AN APPETITE.
MY FAMILY LIKES TO EAT
UBUGARI. ALSO KNOWN
AS FUFU.
IT'S A BURUNDIAN DISH THAT
TASTES A LOT LIKE RICE OR PORRIDGE.
[Slide whistle]
Nicole says, IT SERVED WITH TASTY
SIDE DISHES OR SOUP. MY FAVORITE
SIDE DISH IS MEAT, SOUP, VEGGIES.
[Slide whistle]
An animated blue present box wiggles. The present opens and the animated sun rises and blows into a party horn. Yellow text reads, “Sunny’s Surprise!”
[Upbeat music plays, party horn toots]
Nicole’s father says, NICOLE, YOUR
MOTHER AND I HAVE A LITTLE
SURPRISE FOR YOU
Her mother says, AND WE HOPE
THEIR MESSAGE INSPIRES YOU.
Her father places a laptop computer on the table in front of Nicole. A smiling woman with curly black hair appears on the screen. She wears a white lab coat over a white shirt. Yellow text beneath her reads, “Dr. Chika Stacy Oriuwa, M.D. Resident Doctor in Psychiatry, University of Toronto.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Dr. Chika Stacy Oriuwa says,
HI, NICOLE. MY NAME IS
DR. CHIKA STACY ORIUWA,
AND I AM A RESIDENT
DOCTOR IN PSYCHIATRY
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO.
ONE OF THE OBSTACLES
THAT I HAD TO OVERCOME
IN MY PURSUIT OF MEDICINE
WAS NOT NECESSARILY HAVING
A MENTOR IN MEDICINE WHO
LOOKED LIKE ME.
SO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE MYSELF
AS A YOUNG BLACK WOMAN
REFLECTED IN THE FIELD
WAS A CHALLENGE
THAT I HAD TO OVERCOME.
ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
AND KNOW THAT YOU BELONG
HERE AND THAT YOU SHOULD
BE UNAPOLOGETIC IN TAKING
UP SPACE AND WHATEVER IT
IS THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY
TO BECOMING A DOCTOR.
Nicole says, WHOA! WHAT?
THANKS MOM AND DAD.
I HOPE I CAN BE AN AWESOME
DOCTOR ONE DAY TOO.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
AND AS THEY SAY IN KIRUNDI
N'AGASAGA!
Yellow text reads, “N’agasaga.” Green text reads, “Bye.”
[Slide whistle]
Nicole waves and says, WHICH MEANS BYE!
