[Upbeat music plays]
Lalia wears a grey helmet. Her braided dark brown hair ends with blonde curls. She poses in different dresses.
A narrator says, MEET LALIA. SHE'S A SWIFT ROLLER SKATE GIRL. SHE'S PROUDLY FROM CANADA, MALI AND SENEGAL. AND SHE'S RESOURCEFUL LIKE NOBODY ELSE.
In a living room, Lalia sits on a sofa with a man with short black hair, a woman with short dark brown hair, and a younger girl with braided black hair. The black-haired man gives Lalia a tablet.
The narrator says, WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHO HAS A MESSAGE FOR HER. LOOKS LIKE WE'RE READY. ARE YOU? LET'S GO.
In a studio, Lalia high-fives a woman with long brown hair.
[Hands slapping]
Sunny, an animated sun, waves. Photographs of children appear on a colourful brick wall. Text above Sunny reads, “T.V.O. Kids presents.”
Title: Sunny's Quest.
[Upbeat theme song plays, slide whistle, needle scratching on record]
Lalia says, HELLO. MY NAME IS LALIA. I'M NINE YEARS OLD. MY MOM, MY DAD AND MY LITTLE SISTER. MY MOM IS FROM MALI, AND SHE SPEAKS BAMBARA. MY DADDY IS FROM SENEGAL. AND HE SPEAKS WOLOF.
[Upbeat music plays]
The black-haired man is Lalia’s dad, the short-haired woman is Lalia’s mom, and the younger girl is her little sister. Her family waves. Animated maps show the outlines of Mali and Senegal.
[Chiming]
Lalia’s little sister throws her a globe beach ball in the living room.
[Slide whistle]
Lalia says, FIRST THINGS FIRST. I LIVE IN WINNIPEG, RIGHT HERE. AND RIGHT TO THE SOUTH IS MALI.
An animated map shows the locations of Winnipeg in Manitoba, Mali, and Senegal. Aerial footage shows a beach.
[Chiming, upbeat music continues]
Lalia says, AND JUST A LITTLE BIT TO THE WEST IS SENEGAL. IT’S FAMOUS FOR THEIR BEAUTIFUL BEACHES. FRENCH IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE THERE.
Sunny appears and gives a thumbs-up.
[Slide whistle]
Lalia says, LET'S CHECK OUT THE FLAGS OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES.
Lalia points at a fluttering green, gold, and red striped flag.
[Popping, gentle music plays]
Lalia says, THIS IS MY MALIAN FLAG. IT’S GREEN GOLD AND RED. GREEN IS FOR THE FERTILITY OF THE LAND. GOLD IS PURITY AND THE MINERAL WEALTH. RED IS FOR THE BLOOD OF OUR PEOPLE WHO FELL FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE FROM THE FRENCH.
Animated silhouetted people charge along the bottom of the flag. Some carry flags.
[Shouting]
Lalia points at a green, gold, and red flag with a green star in the centre.
[Popping]
Lalia says, THIS IS MY SENEGALESE FLAG. THEY LOOK SIMILAR, RIGHT? BECAUSE MALI AND SENEGAL WERE PART OF THE SAME FEDERATION. THE COLORS HAVE THE SAME MEANING, BUT THERE'S A STAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SENEGALESE FLAG. COME SEE MY SENEGALESE MALIAN, CANADIAN LIFE. LETS GO!
In her bedroom, Lalia sits cross-legged on her bed. Two purple unicorn chairs sit on the floor at the foot of her bed.
Lalia says, WELCOME TO MY ROOM. LOOK AT THOSE PAINTINGS I MADE.
Lalia gestures at two purple, green, blue, and red canvases on the wall.
Lalia says, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY BOUBOU? BEAUTIFUL, DON T YOU THINK?
[Upbeat music plays]
Lalia snaps her fingers and changes into a pink, blue, red, and grey robe.
[Chiming]
Lalia says, A BOUBOU IS A FLOWING ROBE WORN ACROSS WEST AFRICA. BRAIDING HAIR IS ONE OF MY PASSIONS. HERE IS A PRACTICE DOLL.
Lalia sprays the wig on her practice doll.
Lalia says, I WANT TO BE A HAIRSTYLIST ONE DAY.
In a hair salon, Nadia, a hairstylist, stands behind Lalia and waves. Nadia has brown and black braided hair and wears a cream cardigan and black shirt.
[Upbeat music continues]
Lalia says, TODAY WE'RE THE HAIR SALON WITH NADIA. SHE'S GOING TO TEACH ME A NEW HAIRSTYLE.
Lalia watches Nadia style the hair on a practice doll.
Lalia narrates, HAIR WAS A SPECIAL SYMBOL OF IDENTITY IN AFRICA. BY LOOKING AT SOMEONE'S BRAIDS OR LOCKS, YOU CAN TELL THEIR TRIBE OR THE STORY OF THEIR FAMILY. NADIA IS SHOWING ME HOW TO BRAID THEIR TRADITIONAL FULANI HAIRSTYLE. THE FULANI BRAIDS ARE MOSTLY FOUND IN MALI. THAT'S WHERE THE FULANI PEOPLE ARE.
Photographs show models posing with the Fulani Braids.
[Background chatter]
Lalia narrates, BUT SO MANY PEOPLE WEAR IT NOW AND IT'S THE PRIDE OF THE FULANI PEOPLE. THERE'S A BRAID IN THE MIDDLE. IT GOES FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. THEN THERE'S SMALLER BRAIDS ON THE SIDE. AND THE MOST FUN PART IS DECORATING THEM. DOESN'T IT LOOK BEAUTIFUL?
Sunny appears and pats a sunbeam.
[Slide whistle, chiming]
Lalia says, THANK YOU NADIA.
Nadia says, YOU ARE WELCOME.
A neon sign reads, “Drop In Dance Winnipeg. In the studio, the brown-haired woman, Jill, stands beside Lalia. Lalia wears her grey helmet. Text beneath Jill reads, “Rollerskating Teacher.”
[Slide whistle, upbeat music continues]
Lalia says, THIS IS JILL, SHE'S GOING TO TEACH ME SOME COOL MOVEMENTS. WE'RE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO SPIN AND OTHER COOL THINGS. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTION, AND BE WITH AN ADULT.
Jill and Lalia wear roller skates and practice stepping to the side.
[Background Jill counting]
Lalia narrates, ROLLER SKATING WAS VERY IMPORTANT IN NORTH AMERICIAN BLACK CULTURE. DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, IT WAS AN OUTLET FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO HAVE FUN AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES. BUT SKATING RINKS WERE ONLY OPEN TO BLACK PEOPLE ONCE A WEEK, ON BLACK NIGHTS.
Animated fists raise in the air.
Lalia narrates, BUT IT BECAME KNOWN AS SOUL NIGHT, OR MARTIN LUTHER KING NIGHT, DURING THE FIGHT AGAINST DISCRIMINATION.
A drawing of Martin Luther King appears. Sunny appears and raises a fist. Sunny dances. Jill and Lalia spin in front of a mirror. They high-five.
[Slide whistles, upbeat music continues]
In her living room, Lalia says, GUESS WHAT? MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR WAS ALSO IN THE SCOUTS, AND NOW I'M FOLLOWING HIS FOOTSTEPS.
Lalia spins and changes into her Scout green and purple uniform. She has badges on the sleeve. Sunny appears with stars in their eyes. Photographs show Lalia with her scout troop in a forest.
[Slide whistle]
Lalia says, THE SCOUT ARE THE PERFECT PLACE TO LEARN GREAT VALUES AND SKILLS. THEY ALSO KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS. WE WEAR A UNIFORM.
Video footage shows Lalia with her troop. She peers through binoculars.
Lalia says, ONE VERY IMPORTANT SURVIVAL SKILL IS KNOWING HOW TO DO DELICIOUS MALIAN FOOD. BUT I DIDN'T LEARN THIS WITH THE SCOUTS. COME WITH ME AND I’LL SHOW YOU.
In a grocery store, Lalia’s little sister pushes a grocery cart. Lalia walks beside the cart with a hand on it, and their mom walks behind them. Lalia selects meat and vegetables from shelves.
Lalia narrates, I'M LUCKY TO LIVE WITH THE BEST CHEF IN TOWN. MY MOM. SHE BROUGHT ME TO DINO’S TO FIND ALL THE INGREDIENTS TO MAKE MAFÉ. I LOVE MAFÉ.
In the kitchen, Lalia and her mom stand by the island covered with ingredients.
Lalia says, LET'S SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE MAFÉ. LET'S GO. THIS IS MUTTON.
Lalia puts peanut butter into boiling water.
[Upbeat music plays]
Lalia says, YOU HAVE TO USE PEANUT BUTTER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAFÉ IS. PARSLEY AND GARLIC. YOU'LL ALSO NEED SOME TOMATO PASTE. FISH SAUCE AND SQUASH. LOTS OF SPICES, AS WELL AS AN ONION.
Lalia stirs the ingredients in the pot.
Lalia says, I'M ALSO MAKING BISSAP.
A photograph shows a dark purple drink with ice and a white straw.
Lalia says, IN MALI THEY CALL IT DABILENI. BISSAP IS A SWEET HIBISCUS DRINK. THE HIBISCUS PLANT IS KNOWN FOR ITS VIBRANT COLOUR, AND IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.
Lalia washes dried hibiscus leaves and puts them in a bowl. She adds mint leaves and pours boiling water into the bowl.
[Water bubbling]
Lalia says, YOU TAKE THE DRY HIBISCUS FLOWER, WASH AND ADD MINT LEAVES AND BOILING WATER TO MAKE THE DRINK.
She puts a lid on the bowl and pushes down the sides. Sunny appears and sniffs.
[Clicking, slide whistle, sniffing]
Lalia says, SHARING FOOD WITH MY FAMILY MAKES ME SO HAPPY. THEY MAKE ME PROUD OF MY SENEGALESE AND MALIAN TRADITION.
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 living room, Lalia’s dad says, LALIA, MOM AND I ARE REALLY PROUD OF THE GIRL YOU ARE GROWING UP TO BE. THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE THAT WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING TO YOU.
Lalia’s dad gives her a tablet. On the screen, Chaana Altidor, a hair colourist, stands in front of a white wall. She wears a red and white Concordia University T-shirt. Video footage shows Chaana adjusting a model’s hair.
[Upbeat music plays]
Chaana says, HI, LALIA. MY NAME IS CHAANA. I'M SO HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU TODAY. I'M A HAIR COLORIST FOR L'OREAL PROFESSIONAL CANADA. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU LIKE AND WHAT YOU REALLY LOVE TO DO IN LIFE. AND DON'T LISTEN TO LIKE EVERYONE AROUND YOU TELLING YOU TO DO THIS AND THAT. JUST FOCUS ON LIKE, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, WHAT YOU LOVE AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR PASSION. ONE THING THAT I WILL SAY TO YOU IS NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM. KEEP FOCUSING ON YOURSELF. AND GIRL YOU GOING TO GET IT. OKAY.
The video message ends.
Lalia says, THANK YOU. I FIND YOUR MESSAGE TOUCHING.
[Chiming]
Lalia says, THANKS FOR WATCHING MALIAN, SENEGALESE, CANADIAN LIFE.
A flashback shows Lalia rollerskating with Jill, braiding the hair of the practice doll, and stirring the mafé in the pot.
Lalia says, WE ROLLER SKATED, WE BRAIDED HAIR, AND WE COOKED MAFÉ.
Lalia sits at a long dining table with her family and guests.
Lalia says, IT'S TIME TO EAT.
Everyone says, BYE!
Lalia, her family, guests, and Sunny wave.
