Maya Ameyaw's debut, "When It All Syncs Up," highlights the microaggressions and prejudice in one Black ballerina's pursuit of success. Ghanaian Canadian ballerina Aisha has dreams of dancing on the biggest stages in the world, but when she doesn't gain a coveted spot at an elite performing school because of her appearance, she struggles to find her place in the dance world. A switch of schools seems to be the right move, but when she faces the same racism and prejudice in her new school, it affects her mental health, so Aisha turns to the safety net of new friends and relies on her sense of self to come out on top.
