✏️Drawn Before Us...🖍. ❤️🖤💚 ✨Valerie Brown✨ is the first African-American female cartoon character on a regular animated television series. Valerie performs back-up vocals and occasionally sings lead for the Pussycats. She plays tambourine, is also the group's main songwriter, and is occasionally seen playing different instruments. She is the character who saves the day the most often, thanks to her street smarts and her mechanical and scientific genius. In the comics, this is downplayed, although she is still the most intelligent of the group. Valerie's speaking voice is performed by Barbara Pariot, and her singing voice is performed by Patrice Holloway, sister of Motown recording artist Brenda Holloway. She was played by Rosario Dawson in the live-action movie. Irie Hayleau will portray her in the CW series Riverdale. 👉🏾Her name is Valerie Brown, she has #YayMagic, and she was ✨💕🎈Drawn Before Us🎈💕✨. . . . . #yay9 #yay #drawnbeforeus #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2018 #blackhistory . . #yay9 #drawnbeforeus #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2018 #blackhistory #josieandthepussycats #valeriebrown #blackcharacters #character #cartoon #blackboyjoy #fortheculture #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #blackboyjoy #melanin #blm #inclusion #inclusionmatters #supportblackart #supportblackartists #subscriptionbox

#BlackHistoryMonth #AfricanAmericanHistoryMonth ❤️🖤💚✏️Drawn Before Us...🖍. Numbuh 5 / Abigail "Abby" Lincoln(Gilligan) of Codename: Kids Next Door - An intelligent and laid back African-American girl. She wears a red cap, blue dress with white stripes on the side, white shoes, and braided black hair. Despite having the highest number, Abby is Sector V's second-in-command, rarely overreacting in their missions, instead opting to calm her friends, and usually assumes leadership whenever Number 1 is absent, including saying "Kids Next Door, Battle Stations!", Number 1's usual line. She talks in third person much of the time, and loves sweets (especially ice cream). In "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", it is shown that she takes over sector V after Numbuh 1's departure and becomes the supreme leader of KND. She often had episodes focused on her which involved Heinrich Von Marzipan, a candy hunting villain and rival. Abby has a teenage older sister named Cree (formerly known as Numbuh 11 and also voiced by Cree Summer @iamcreesummer ) who betrayed the KND and is a recurring teenage villain. Her last name is a reference to the fact that President Abraham Lincoln is on the United States five-dollar bill. 👉🏾Her name is Numbuh 5, she has #YayMagic, and she was ✨💕🎈Drawn Before Us🎈💕✨. . . #yay9 #yay #drawnbeforeus #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2017 #blackhistory #africanamericanhistory #africanamericanhistorymonth #numbuh5 #knd #kidsnextdoor #cartoonnetwork #animatedseries

✏️Drawn Before Us...🖍. ♥️🖤💚. Shana Elmsford (voiced by Cindy McGee) is an African American foster girl who grew up with Kimber, Jerrica and Aja at Starlight House and was the second child to be adopted by the Bentons. Shana provides the synth drums, bass guitarist, and backup vocals for the Holograms. Despite Shana's shy demeanor she eventually became good friends with the other girls. Shana's boyfriend is Anthony Julian, a music producer she meets in the series; she also designs many of the Holograms' clothes. Shana briefly left the group to pursue a career in fashion as a designer for actress Liz Stratton, wrongly assuming she was not wanted. Shana later walked off the production when she decided she'd had enough of Stratton's ego. She returns to the band and switches instruments playing the bass guitar while Raya takes over on drums. Shana sometimes expresses doubts in her talents as a designer, particularly in the episode "In Stitches" when she is needled over this by Roxy and the other Misfits. She has great respect for Danielle DuVoison, who has taken a personal interest in Shana's work and often gives her helpful advice. 👉🏾Her name is Shana Elmsford, she has #YayMagic , and she was ✨💕🎈Drawn Before Us🎈💕🎈. . . . . . . . #yay9 #yay #drawnbeforeus #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2018 #blackhistory #blackcharacters #character #cartoon #blackboyjoy #fortheculture #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #melanin #blm #inclusion #inclusionmatters #supportblackart #supportblackartists #subscriptionbox #animatedseries

✏️Drawn Before Us...🖍 ♥️🖤💚 Superstretch and Microwoman are a fictional, shape-shifting, husband and wife crime-fighting team, shown as a segment of Tarzan and the Super 7 in 1978. Paired in lightweight adventures, on the surface Chris and Christy Cross were just your average suburban couple. But when they sprang into action, Chris could take virtually any shape (such as a plane, a robot, a rubber ball, a perfect double of a villain, etc.). Christy could, as her name implied, shrink to microscopic size. Frequently tagging along on their adventures was their little dog, Trouble. The duo was a new concept for superhero cartoons in that they were the first African-American man/woman duo, and that they did not change into superhero costumes when the need to use their powers came, or adapt a "secret identity", simply wearing ordinary clothes. Some times if the need arose, Christy and Chris would use their powers to accomplish household chores. 👉🏾They are Superstretch and Microwoman, they have #YayMagic , and were ✨💕🎈Drawn Before Us🎈💕✨. . . . . #yay9 #yay #drawnbeforeus #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2018 #blackhistory #blackcharacters #character #cartoon #blackboyjoy #fortheculture #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #melanin #blm #inclusion #inclusionmatters #supportblackart #supportblackartists #subscriptionbox #animatedseries #superstretch #microwoman

✏️Drawn Before Us...🖍 ❤️🖤💚 In the Rainbow Brite Coloring Book, her full name was stated as Indigo Doll. She is a very beautiful little girl who wants to be a famous actress. She is always "on stage," so to speak, rehearsing and reciting line from famous plays and making entrances wearing imaginative costumes. Though some may think she is overdramatic and somewhat of a dreamer, she likes to think of herself as an artist with high aspirations. Indigo's color represents drama and emotion. Her responsibility is for the indigo Sprites and for the colors they create. She also plays the drums (Murky's comet). 👉🏾Her name is Indigo, she has #YayMagic, and She was ✨💕🎈Drawn Before Us🎈💕✨. . . . . . #yay9 #drawnbeforeus #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2018 #blackhistory #comic #franklin #charliebrown #cute #kawaii #kids #character #characterdesign #fortheculture #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #blackboyjoy #melanin #blm #inclusion #inclusionmatters #supportblackart #supportblackartists #subscriptionbox
