Growing up as adolescent in the 1990's was awesome. Television
was great, the toys were legendary and the theme songs and jingles were
constantly embedded into my brain. But one thing that stood out during that era

was a sense of pride, happiness and lightheartedness that exuded through our
television sets. There were so many products, songs, and characters a young African-American girl could relate to. So let’s

that brought me so much joy as a kid. Maybe for you too!
