Mahely is a 10-year-old girl who lives in Orleans, Ontario. She is Canadian, Dominican, and Ivorian and is an active and creative girl who loves dancing the bachata! But today, Mahely takes us to learn a new dance, the merengue, which is the national dance of the Dominican Republic! Mahely shows us how fast your feet need to move for this energetic dance! Then she demonstrates how to do the Zoblazo dance with her mom; a fun dance originating from Cote D'Ivoire! After all that moving and shaking, Mahely is hungry for some attieke and aloko, a delicious West African dish. Mahely and her Mom sing together as they make this popular dish that includes fish and plantains. In her room, Mahely models her homemade tie-dye t-shirts and pagne, a colourful piece of clothing from West Africa, that keeps her connected to her Ivorian roots. Then, Mahely takes us to do some arts and crafts with her best friend! They paint ceramic plates together; don't they look awesome!? It's now time for Mahely to get in touch with her Dominican roots by learning Spanish from her Dad! Soon she will be trilingual, knowing English, French and Spanish! After, Mahely receives a special surprise that encourages her to keep persevering toward success!
