What does she want to be when she grows up?

That’s the question Rashada’s homeroom teacher asks her one day at school. When she goes looking for the answer, Rashada sets off on a journey that leads to some exciting and strange adventures.

At times, she thinks she’ll never be able to decide what she wants to be. But, with the help of her family, she is introduced to some amazing new role models. Finding inspiration all around her, Rashada discovers herself and her self-worth.

But, will she be able to decide what she wants to be in time for her presentation on Monday?
