A narrator says, SAY HELLO TO OLUWA TISHE. SHE'S A CANADIAN NIGERIAN YORUBA QUEEN!
[Chiming]
Tishe and a younger child hold a large Nigerian flag in the snow.
Tishe says, CHECK OUT MY NIGERIAN FLAG.
The narrator says, NOT ONLY DOES SHE HAVE STYLE, BUT SHE'S GOT TASTE, TOO.
In a restaurant, Tishe says, YOU'VE GOTTA EAT IT WITH YOUR HANDS. THAT WAY IT'S EXTRA TASTY! I PROMISE!
At a table, a smiling man with short black hair gives Tishe a tablet. A woman with short black hair and eyeglasses stands beside Tishe, and a younger child lays their head on their arms on the table.
The narrator says, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHO HAS A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR HER. ARE YOU READY? LET'S GO!

Title: Sunny's Quest.
[Upbeat theme song plays, slide whistle, needle scratching on record]
Tishe opens her front door. She wears a denim dress, and her curly dark brown hair reaches her chin.
[Door creaking]
Tishe says, HEY, THERE. MY NAME IS OLUWA TISHE. WELCOME TO MY HOUSE. COME ON IN.
[Chiming]
Tishe walks to the kitchen, where her little brother sits on a counter, kicking his legs. Her mom, the black-haired woman, and her dad, the black-haired man, wave.
Tishe says, I'M NINE YEARS OLD, AND I LIVE IN CALGARY, ALBERTA, WITH MY DAD, MY MOM, AND MY LITTLE BROTHER.
Video footage shows cars crossing a Mainland Bridge in Nigeria.
Tishe says, MY MOM, DAD, AND ME ARE ALL FROM NIGERIA, WHERE I SPENT THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF MY LIFE. BUT MY LITTLE BROTHER WAS BORN IN CANADA. NOW, WE LIVE IN CALGARY, WHICH MAKES ME A PROUD NIGERIAN CANADIAN.
In downtown Calgary, water sprays in a fountain near the Calgary Tower. In the kitchen, animated Nigerian and Canadian flags flutter beneath Tishe.
[Slide whistles]
In the living room, Tishe and her brother throw a globe beach ball back and forth.
[Boinging, slide whistle, upbeat music plays]
Tishe says, IN CALGARY, YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD THAT WE DON'T HORSE AROUND WITH HORSES HERE.
Video footage shows a cowboy riding a horse across a ring. Jockeys race their horses and wagons.
Tishe says, CALGARY IS ACTUALLY HOME TO THE CALGARY STAMPEDE. IT'S AN EVENT WHERE COWBOYS AND REGULAR PEOPLE COME TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST OUTDOOR RODEO.
An animated map shows the location of Calgary, Alberta. A red dotted line moves from Calgary to Nigeria in Africa.
[Chiming, dinging]
Tishe says, MY FAMILY'S FROM AFRICA IN NIGERIA RIGHT OVER HERE. NIGERIA'S HISTORY IS REALLY RICH. PEOPLE KNOW IT FOR ITS POWERFUL KINGDOMS AND AFRICAN EMPIRES THAT EXISTED IN THAT REGION.
Sunny appears and raises a fist. Photographs show Tishe posing in a purple dress wearing the orange beaded necklace.
[Slide whistle, chiming, whooshing]
Tishe says, WE REALLY DO OUR BEST TO PRESERVE OUR NIGERIAN CULTURE IN OUR CANADIAN LIVES.
Outside, Tishe stands in the snow and holds her large Nigerian flag. It has three vertical stripes: the middle stripe is white, and the stripes on each side are dark green.
Tishe says, CHECK OUT MY NIGERIAN FLAG. IT'S WHITE WITH TWO GREEN STRIPES ON EITHER SIDE. THE TWO GREEN STRIPES REPRESENT THE FOREST AND ALL THE NATURAL WEALTH OF NIGERIA. THE WHITE BAND IN THE MIDDLE IS FOR PEACE AND UNITY. COOL, RIGHT?
In her house, Tishe sits in a chair. Behind her stands Dane, a braid stylist with dark brown hair who wears eyeglasses, a pink sweater and pants, and a black shirt.
[Chiming, soothing music plays]
Tishe says, MEET DANE. SHE'S HERE TO BRAID MY HAIR AND SHOW YOU THE AMAZING STYLE OF THE YORUBA PEOPLE. PEOPLE OFTEN GET CORNROWS, WHICH IN YORUBA ARE CALLED "IRUN DIDI".
Photographs show models with cornrows.
Tishe says, THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CORNROWS CALLED KOLESE AND SHUKU. WHICH IS WHAT I'M GOING TO GET TODAY. PEOPLE WEAR THESE HAIRSTYLES FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS LIKE WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS, AND CELEBRATIONS. EVEN ROYALTY HAD UNIQUE FAMILY HAIRSTYLES PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE GENERATIONS.
Dane braids Tishe’s hair.
Tishe narrates, TODAY, I'M GETTING A SHUKU HAIRSTYLE. SHUKU IS A POPULAR HAIRSTYLE THAT USED TO BE FOR ROYAL WIVES. IT'S A WAY TO HONOUR MY HERITAGE.
Dane finishes styling Tishe’s hair.
Tishe says, WOW! THANK YOU, DANE. I REALLY FEEL LIKE A QUEEN.
Sunny appears and puts on a crown.
[Slide whistle, chiming]
Tishe opens the door to her bedroom.
[Upbeat music plays]
Tishe says, WELCOME TO MY OWN PERSONAL QUEENDOM. OVER HERE, WE HAVE MY WORKSPACE, WHERE I LIKE TO DO A BUNCH OF THINGS.
Tishe makes a white tissue paper rose.
Tishe says, I ESPECIALLY LIKE MAKING TISSUE PAPER ROSES. I LOVE MAKING ROSES. THEY'RE FUN AND HELP ME EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS.
Tishe holds a certificate. Sunny appears and gives a thumbs-up.
[Slide whistle, chiming, upbeat music plays]
Tishe says, I GOT THIS CERTIFICATE PERFORMING AT THE VANCOUVER ARTS ACADEMY. I REALLY LIKE TO LEARN, AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE A DOCTOR ONE DAY. IT IS A BIT HARD, BUT I KNOW IF I KEEP TRYING AND BELIEVING, I'LL DO IT.
An animated doctor smiles.
[Slide whistles]
Tishe says, ONE DAY, I HOPE TO BE A PROUD EXAMPLE OF BLACK EXCELLENCE.
Sunny appears and lifts a fist.
[Slide whistle, chiming]
In the living room, Tishe wears the Kampala and holds a white horse tail Irukere.
Tishe says, I'M WEARING TRADITIONAL YORUBA CLOTHES. THIS IS OUR KAMPALA. IT'S FROM THE WESTERN PART OF NIGERIA. PEOPLE WORE IT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS. I'M ALSO WEARING MY CORAL BEADS. THEY'RE A SPIRITUAL ADORNMENT. THIS IS AN IRUKERE, WHICH YOU CAN CALL A HORSE TAIL IN ENGLISH. IT SHOWS RESPECT AND HONOUR AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU. I'M ALWAYS PROUD TO WEAR SUCH BEAUTIFUL ADORNMENTS.
Tishe dances on the hardwood floor.
[Popping, chiming, upbeat music continues]
Tishe says, I'VE BEEN LEARNING BATA, WHICH IS A VERY SPIRITED DANCE. IT COMES FROM THE YORUBA PEOPLE AND THEIR SPIRITUAL PRACTICES BATA DANCE WAS PERSONALIZED AND POPULARIZED BY SANGO, KING OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING, THE SECOND KING OF THE OYO EMPIRE.
Sunny dances.
[Slide whistle, chiming]
Tishe says, BUT NOWADAYS, MANY ARTISTS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND RELIGIONS ALSO PRACTICE IT.
Tishe dances. She stops and poses, and an animated crown appears on her head.
[Chiming]
Tishe says, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN. BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR A DELICIOUS TREAT.
Tishe says, WELCOME TO DELISH DINING. THIS IS A FAVOURITE PLACE TO GET NIGERIAN FOOD. WE OFTEN COME HERE TO HAVE DINNER WITH MY FAMILY.
A waitress carries a tray to Tishe’s family’s table.
[Background chatter, tray tapping table]
Tishe says, [UNCLEAR] WITH DELICIOUS PEPPER SOUP AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MY FAVOURITE. SWALLOW. IT'S SO GOOD.
A second waitress puts plates of white pounded yam on the table. Each person also receives a bowl of stew.
Tishe says, SWALLOW IS USUALLY MADE OF POUNDED YAM OR OTHER STUFF AND DOUGHY FOODS LIKE EBA AND MALA, STARCH OR FUFU, AND PLENTY MORE.
Sunny appears and sniffs.
[Slide whistle, sniffing, upbeat music continues]
Tishe says, WHEN YOU EAT POUND OR ANY TYPE OF SWALLOW, YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOUPS OR STEW. MY DAD GOT EGUSI, AND I GOT A FUFU ROLL. IF YOU WANT TO BE REAL ABOUT IT, YOU GOTTA EAT IT WITH YOUR HANDS. THAT WAY, IT'S EXTRA TASTY. I PROMISE. IT'S SUCH A TREAT TO BE SHARING MEALS WITH MY FAMILY. THERE'S NO BETTER WAY TO SHOW LOVE AND CULTURE THAN THROUGH FOOD.
Tishe and her family eat their Swallow.
An animated blue present box wiggles. The present opens, and Sunny rises and blows into a party horn. Yellow text reads, “Sunny’s Surprise!”
[Upbeat music plays, party horn toots]
In the restaurant, Tishe’s dad says, MOMMY AND I ARE SO PROUD OF YOU. YOU MAKE US JOYOUS AND HAPPY AND GUESS WHAT? WE HAVE A SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU FROM SOMEBODY.
He gives Tishe a tablet. On the screen, Dr. Onye Nnorom wears a white laboratory coat with a stethoscope around her neck. Framed medical degrees, certifications, photographs, and artwork hang on a wall behind her.
[Upbeat music plays]
Dr. Onye Nnorom says, HI, TISHE! MY NAME IS DR. ONYE NNOROM. YOU CAN CALL ME DR. O., AND I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR WHEN YOU GROW UP. I LOVE IT! I LOVE BEING ABLE TO SERVE COMMUNITIES IN THIS WAY. AND I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS THROUGH VERY HARD WORK. YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR GRADES UP REALLY HIGH AND ALSO, IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET MENTORSHIP. SO, WHEN YOU GET TO HIGH SCHOOL, MAKE SURE TO FIND OUT ABOUT MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS IN YOUR COMMUNITY THAT CAN PREPARE YOU FOR MEDICINE. AND ONE OF THE WAYS TO STAY STRONG EVEN IF SOMEBODY SAYS SOMETHING MEAN TO YOU, NO MATTER WHAT THE MEAN THING IS HONESTLY, IS TO KNOW YOURSELF AND TO KNOW YOUR HISTORY AND HAVE PRIDE IN WHO YOU ARE. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU LEARNING MORE ABOUT MEDICINE. YOU CAN DO IT.
Tishe says, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I'M SO GRATEFUL! IT'S JUST AMAZING. THANK YOU, DR. O. IT REALLY INSPIRED ME TO DO MY BEST IN LIFE AND KEEP FIGHTING.
[Chiming]
Flashbacks show Dane braiding Tishe’s hair and Tishe wearing her Kampala.
In the restaurant, Tishe says WE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT MY YORUBA CULTURE LIKE HAIR, DANCE, AND CLOTHES.
In the restaurant, Tishe and her family wave and say, BYE-BYE.
Sunny appears and waves.
