She begins to immerse herself in spelling bees and gradually discovers her talent for the game. Her mother, who is busy supporting the family and often neglects Akilah, is baffled and believes she is wasting time on frivolous pursuits. Fortunately, Akilah receives support from a mysterious professor (Laurence Fishburne) and excels in her school's spelling competition, earning a chance to participate in the national spelling bee. With talent and hard work, Akilah finds confidence and self-discovery through the series of competitions, where she encounters a formidable opponent—a boy of Asian descent. Their rivalry evolves from mutual disdain to a deep appreciation for each other...
