(Upbeat music plays)
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.
Outside, Anayah says, HI, I'M ANAYAH.
I'M 9 YEARS OLD AND I LIVE IN
MONTREAL.
A map shows the location of Montreal.
Anayah says, MY MOM IS CANADIAN AND A MOHAWK
AND MY DAD IS TRINIDADIAN.
The map shows the location of Trinidad and Tobago. Anayah sits on the staircase with the globe ball.
She says, WE'RE GONNA FIND WHERE TRINIDAD
AND TOBAGO IS.
RIGHT THERE.
DO YOU SEE IT?
Anayah points to the location of Trinidad and Tobago on the globe.
She says, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO ARE TWO
ISLANDS THAT MAKE UP ONE
COUNTRY.
An arrow points to the two islands on the map.
Anayah says, IN THE FLAG OF TRINIDAD AND
TOBAGO IS RED, WHITE AND BLACK.
The flag is displayed.
Anayah says, EACH COLOUR ACTUALLY REPRESENTS
SOMETHING.
RED REPRESENTS FIRE, BLACK
REPRESENTS EARTH AND WHITE
REPRESENTS WATER.
Anayah stands at a table in a kitchen with a woman who has black hair and glasses and wears a pink shirt.
Anayah says, I'M GONNA BE MAKING ROTI WITH MY
GRANDMA TODAY.
ROTI IS A VERY POPULAR WRAP IN
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.
IT'S MADE OUT OF CHICKEN CURRY
AND POTATOES.
Anayah’s grandma says, ALL THESE ARE FLAVOURS THAT YOU
PUT INTO THE POTATO.
Anayah points to different ingredients on the table.
She says, THIS IS THE THYME, THIS IS THE
SAFFRON POWDER, THIS IS THE
GINGER, THE GARLIC, THE CURRY
POWDER AND THE JEERA POWDER.
Anayah cooks at the stove.
She says, NOW WE'RE COOKING THE CHICKEN
CURRY.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU'RE COOKING
WITH AN ADULT.
The animated sun smells the curry and rubs its belly.
Anayah says, TIME TO PUT THE CURRY CHICKEN
INTO THE ROTI.
Anayah folds the roti over the chicken.
She says, NOW WE'RE DONE MAKING ROTI.
TIME TO PUT IT IN FOR 5 MINUTES.
Anayah puts a plate with the roti in the toaster oven. A timer dings. Anayah’s grandma takes the plate out of the toaster oven with an oven mitt.
She says, THERE WE GO.
Anayah says, WOW.
Her grandma says, IT SMELLS GOOD.
Anayah says, BUT IT'S VERY HOT.
She smells the roti. She rips off a piece and tries it.
She says, MMM.
IT'S DELICIOUS!
Anayah’s grandma says, WE DID IT, YAY!
She hugs Anayah.
Elsewhere, Anayah says, I LOVE SINGING AND MUSIC SO MUCH
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU MUSIC FROM MY
COUNTRY.
Anayah signs with her grandmother and a man with a beard. Text reads, Dad.
Anayah says, WHEN MY GRANDMA AND MY FATHER
SINGS THIS TRADITIONAL SONG TO
ME IT REMINDS ME OF ALL OF MY
ANCESTORS.
The family sings, WHEN MY SOUL.
WHEN MY SOUL.
WHEN MY SOUL
CAUGHT ON FIRE.
Anayah’s dad unpacks a steel pan drum.
Anayah says, NOW.
WE ARE GOING TO PLAY THE STEEL
PAN DRUM.
AN INSTRUMENT INVENTED BY MY
PEOPLE.
She asks, HOW COULD IT MAKE SUCH A GOOD
TONE?
DON'T YOU COOK WITH THESE PANS?
Anayah’s dad asks, NO.
THEY MADE INDENTS IN THEM TO
MAKE DIFFERENT SOUNDS.
Anayah plays the steel pan drum. Her dad and her grandma smile.
Her grandma says, WOW.
BRAVO.
Her dad says, GOOD JOB.
Her grandma says, GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB.
Outside a bedroom, Anayah says, COME IN MY ROOM.
She enters the room.
She says, THIS IS MY ROOM.
THIS IS, ALL MY MEMORIES ARE IN
HERE.
EVERYTHING IN HERE IS A PIECE OF
ME.
THIS IS THE COLOUR OF MY ROOM.
Anayah gestures to the walls.
She says, A LAVENDER PURPLE.
PURPLE IS MY FAVOURITE COLOUR.
Anayah reaches for a soccer ball.
She says, THIS IS MY SOCCER BALL.
I GOT IT FROM A TOURNAMENT WHEN
I FINISHED PLAYING.
Anayah reaches for a guitar.
She says, AND THIS IS MY GUITAR BECAUSE I
LOVE MUSIC SO MUCH AND THIS IS
FROM A TRIP TO MEXICO.
IT'S A MARACA.
Anayah shakes the maraca.
She says, AND THEN THIS IS MY KARAOKE
MACHINE.
I LOVE MUSIC SO MUCH THAT I SING
MY HEART OUT AND THEN THIS IS A
PICTURE OF ME AND MY SISTERS
WITH MY NANNY AND MY POPPY.
Anayah points to the picture on her mirror.
She says, POPPY WAS THE FUNNIEST GRANDPA
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
NANNY WAS THE SWEETEST GRANDMA
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Outside, Anayah says, NOW I'M GOING TO BE PLAYING
BASKETBALL WITH MY BEST FRIEND
OLIVIA AND MY LITTLE SISTER
ELOUISE.
The three girls wear matching shirts. Anayah’s dad follows them to a court. The girls play basketball.
Anayah says, I LOVE TO PLAY BASKETBALL.
I PLAY EVERY SATURDAY.
The animated sun dances. Olivia shoots a basket.
(Giggling)
Anayah says, BECAUSE I HAVE MY FRIEND AND MY
SISTER TO PLAY WITH AND MY
FATHER'S THE COACH AND WE HAVE A
LOT OF FUN PLAYING TOGETHER.
Anayah shoots a basket.
Her dad says, GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB.
A horse stands in a barn.
Anayah says, NOW I'M GOING TO BE SHOWING YOU
MY LOVE OF HORSEBACK RIDING WITH
MY INSTRUCTOR GIDDY.
Giddy wears her long blond hair in a bun. Anayah wears a riding helmet. She brushes a horse.
She says, I JUST LOVE TO BRUSH HORSES.
MY FAVOURITE THING ABOUT
HORSEBACK RIDING, IT'S PROBABLY
CONNECTING WITH THE HORSE.
BONDING WITH IT AND THEN HE'LL
WORK WITH YOU.
IT'S VERY GOOD TO CONNECT WITH
YOUR HORSE.
Anayah brushes the horse’s hoof.
She says, I AM GOING TO BE BRUSHING OUT
AND CLEANING THE HOOVES AND IT'S
IMPORTANT TO DO THAT TO MAKE
SURE THEY DON'T HAVE ROCKS IN
THEM.
The animated sun gives a thumbs up.
Anayah says, WHAT I DID THIS SUMMER.
I WENT TO HORSE CAMP AND I
LEARNED HOW TO TROT, BARREL
RACING, I LEARNED HOW TO DO
JUMPS, TO GROOM PROPERLY.
Anayah climbs on her horse.
She says, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ON A
BIG ANIMAL AND STEERING AND
STUFF, IT JUST FEELS LIKE I'M
OUT DOING MY THING.
I JUST FEEL FREE.
I CAN PUT MY ARMS OUT.
IT'S JUST REALLY FUN.
Anayah rides the horse.
On her bed, Anayah says, BECAUSE I NEVER SEE BLACK PEOPLE
DOING HORSEBACK RIDING.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW
ME WHEN I GROW UP SO ANYBODY WHO
IS A DIFFERENT COLOR COULD
ACTUALLY TRY TO ACHIEVE THEIR
DREAMS IF THEY WANT TO DO
HORSEBACK RIDING OR ANY OTHER
SPORT.
Anayah stands in the horse barn with Giddy.
Anayah says, WE'RE FINISHED HORSEBACK RIDING
AND NOW WE'RE GONNA GIVE HIM A
CARROT.
She feeds the horse a carrot. She pets the horse.
She says, YEAH.
The animated sun bursts out of a gift box and blows a party horn. Text reads, Sunny’s Surprise!
Anayah’s dad says, I'M PROUD OF MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE
SHE'S DETERMINED, SHE'S SMART
AND SHE DECIDED TO TAKE ON A
SPORT THAT NONE OF US KNEW
ABOUT.
In Anayah’s bedroom, her dad says, HEY.
I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
Anayah asks, WHAT IS THIS?
Her dad says, I DON'T KNOW, HOLD ON,
JUST PRESS PLAY.
A video plays on a tablet of a woman with long black hair who wears a peach shirt.
The woman says, HI ANAYAH.
THIS IS PHILESHA CHANDLER.
PROFESSIONAL DRESSAGE, TRAINER
AND RIDER.
Pictures of Philesha on horses are displayed.
Philesha says, WHAT MAKES ME DETERMINED TO BE
SUCCESSFUL?
HONESTLY?
IT'S KIDS LIKE YOU.
Anayah looks shocked.
Philesha says, KIDS LIKE YOU INSPIRE ME TO BE
THE BEST RIDER AND PERSON
POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ME TO BE
YOUR ROLE MODEL.
Anayah says, THAT'S COOL.
She giggles.
She says, I WANNA PLAY IT AGAIN.
Anayah plays the video again.
In the barn, she says, BYE GUYS.
THANK FOR WATCHING.
Anayah waves. The animated sun waves.
