Set in a lively Harlem neighborhood filled with rhythm, color, and community, The Hula-Hoopin’ Queen follows ten-year-old Kameeka as she prepares for a neighborhood hula-hooping contest and dreams of becoming the best on her block. With determination, imagination, and a little friendly competition, she sets her sights on the prize.


But as the day unfolds, Kameeka begins to discover that growing up isn’t just about winning, it’s about showing up for others, learning from the people around you, and understanding what truly matters. Surrounded by a vibrant community of friends, neighbors, and mentors, she starts to see herself in a new way.


A joyful and energetic celebration of childhood, The Hula-Hoopin’ Queen captures the spirit of the courage to begin through everyday moments, trying something new, making things right, and believing in yourself. It’s a story that invites audiences to laugh, connect, and recognize the power of community in helping us grow.
