The Proud Family is an American animated sitcom created by Bruce W. Smith that aired on the Disney Channel from September 15, 2001, to August 19, 2005. The series centers on the life of Penny Proud, a 14-year-old African American girl, as she navigates the challenges of her early teenage years. Her experiences often spiral into bigger-than-life situations characterized by hi-jinks, hilarity, and heart. Penny attempts to balance her home, school, and social lives while managing relationships with her friends, such as the sassy Dijonay, and her nemesis, LaCienega Boulevardez. Her daily life is further influenced by her loving but over-protective parents and her grandmother, Suga Mama. The program features voice performances by Kyla Pratt, Tommy Davidson, Jo Marie Payton, and Paula Jai Parker. As the protagonist, Penny faces the typical trials of teen-dom, with each encounter leading to new adventures and misadventures throughout the course of the series.
