Emersion

A black and white couple walks along a lake with Yaa, their babygirl. Later, 7-year-old Yaa faces for the first time her skin-color difference discovering shades of point-shoes in a store. When 15, Yaa hates herself, including her hair touched by strangers – she decides to copy her friends’ straight hair.
There starts her journey of mirroring the world around her, wanting desperately to fit in. When she cannot damage her hair any further, she understands she needs a deep change.
