Kwesi likes spending time at the lake with his friends, except there's one tiny problem... he can't swim. But guess…

When she comes over for dinner one night, she tells Kwesi about when she moved from Ghana to the US and the history of segregation that kept her out of pools and caused a fear of water among many Black people.
