Girl on the Fly

Philadelphia, 1992.

Feisty and super-focused Kamaria Kessy lives for rhythm.
From the boom boom boom of her heartbeat. To the thwack thwack thwack of her feet striking the track.


But then life gets shaky… She falls out with her best friend, Odie. Her aunt from Tanzania moves in. And the state championship is on the line.

Amidst all the chaos, can Kam learn to live life on the fly and work out what truly makes her soar?
