What happens when everything you know changes overnight?
Amina loves her life in Ibadan, Nigeria-the warm embrace of her Nana’s stories, the joy of playing ten-ten with friends, and the beautiful braids that Nana weaves into her hair. She excels in school, dreams big, and feels at home in every sense of the word. But when she learns that she will be moving to America to reunite with her parents, she is both excited and nervous.
How do you hold on to your heritage while stepping into a whole new world?
From the moment Amina boards the plane, she faces the realities of immigration, culture shock, and the challenge of fitting in.

With the guidance of her parents, who remind her that ‘wherever you go, you carry Nigeria in your heart, ‘ Amina finds a way to celebrate both sides of her identity.
