AlakazamBraids

Full Episode description

What’s something you really like about the way you look? Is it your smile? Your funny little pinky toes? The cool T-shirt you always wear on Wednesdays? Maybe it’s your freckles or your strong legs that can run really fast. There are a lot of unique and beautiful things about the way every one of us looks!

But what if someone was mean to you because of something about your appearance? What if people excluded you just for the way you wear your hair? That’s what happened to Alakazambra, and that’s what this week’s story is about.

Today Vac is super excited, because Alakazambra is taking him to a fancy new roller-skating rink! But first, she’s getting a beautiful brand-new hairdo. And Alakazambra’s not visiting just any old salon—she’s seeing magical Miss Mamas, owner of The Enchanted Haus of Coils, Curls, and Charms!

After Miss Mamas gives Alakazambra the most bewitching braids we’ve ever beheld, she feels happy, confident, and ready to roll! But when we get to the rink, there’s trouble. A bunch of troller skaters show up and make fun of Alakazambra’s hairstyle. They tell her they won’t let her skate until she takes her braids out.

Will Vac give himself a tummyache eating candy off the floor of the Golden Rink Deluxe?  

Will Miss Mamas teach Alakazambra to stand up against discrimination and let her inner light shine bright? 

Will Scotty ever stop looking in the mirror at his fancy new fade?

To find out, tighten up those laces and get ready to rock the rink on today’s exciting episode of The Imagine Neighborhood (and if you have a minute between songs, remind your grown-up to get on our newsletter list for awesome episode activities)!  

Ready? Set?

ALL SKAAAAAAAAAATE!
