About The Proud Family Television Series
The NAACP Image Award-nominated “The Proud Family” is an animated
sitcom that follows the adventures and misadventures of Penny Proud,
a 14-year-old African American girl who’s doing her best to navigate
through the mysteries, mishaps and merriment that come with those
difficult “tween” years. Every situation is fueled with equal parts
drama, hijinks and hilarity, as Penny struggles to show her parents
that she’s no longer the child they think she is. Her daddy won’t
let her date, her momma won’t let her dress up, and her baby
siblings pay her no respect. At least her grandma, Suga Mama,
understands her…when Suga Mama is awake!
