Trinbagonian culture meets British culture as Emily visits her Tanty- a respected aunt or elderly woman, in Canterbury, England. Emily has trouble paying attention, is easily distracted, and is sometimes hyperactive. Tanty teaches Emily about being mindful, a universal state of being involving slowing down, being open, and using one's senses. Is Emily able to master mindfulness and enjoy her vacation? From ancient eastern origins of mindfulness to West Indian and European culture Tanty Says is the fusion everyone needs in their home.
