not that there’s much to choose from, but what about Penny Proud? she was pretty awesome
-
Let’s count the gals not voiced by Cree Summer
I swear she is every other black video game and cartoon character. My brother always jokes that my black character in games and favorite females are almost always her
-
Gaia isn’t black. She is *also* black, but is meant to represent a combination of all races, so she is also asian, native American, white, Australian aboriginal, etc. (One drop rule?)
For such a politically correct show, you still have to wonder why they had two white kids as the main characters (well, I’m white and I thought it was odd, even as a kid–wouldn’t it have made more sense to have the fifth kid be Australian aboriginal or native North American?)
Also, Foxxy Love is the rated-R version of Valerie. 😛
-
Lol! It has been a while since I have seen some of these characters (Goo, Valerie, Gala) but I am glad to sese some of my favorites on here (Shana, Susie & Storm).
-
The bigger question is, how many of these characters did Cree Summer do the voice for? lol Clearly the queen of black girl cartoon voices.
-
What about Agura Ibaden from Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5? I think she’s worth looking into and a benefit to Black girls everywhere. Smart, pretty, a good fighter and she takes charge where it’s needed.
-
Great list. I don’t know if you’ve ever watched this show, but Codename Kids Next Door had a great character. I always loved Numbah 5 ( that’s how her name was spelled).

Clever Ashley would be great as a cartoon character. Read her book here: http://www.amazon.com/Clever-Ashley-Saves-Alice-Endamne/dp/0578071312/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1353561410&sr=1-1&keywords=endamne+clever+ashley

-
The most powerful storm from xmen
-
What about Libby Folfax from Jimmy Neutron.
-
I am proud of you, and I want your book. I’m glad you shared the link here. We need MORE Black children’s books.
-
There are several other nerdy or adventurous girl characters, but most of them are not on television. I don’t watch TV anyway, but prefer books or the internet. I’m
building a library for my children (not yet conceived). I was glad to read the entries below of other Black female characters. For anyone interested in buying children’s books for half or less than half the retail cost, check out Ollies (store), if there is one in or near your area. Ollie’s has a large children’s book section. -
You’ve got to see Storm (voiced by Jill Scott) in Black Panther
-
Damn, Cree Summer stays working lol. Anyway, I would like to nominate Jodie from Daria.
-
I’ve created one: Zola, The Brownie Girl Adventures! Check her out!! http://www.facebook.com/TheBrownieGirl
-
Iris from Pokemon, and DeeDee from Captain Caveman.
-
Don’t forget Vixen of Justice League the animated series, also Gina Torres is often the voice of Wonder Woman in animated films.
-
Foxxy Love needs to be taken off this list. She was every stereotype that white men think about when they see a black women. She was vulgar & ignorant far from being a nerd. Penny Proud should be in her place.
-
I sooooo 2nd the emotion!!!
-
What about Doc McStuffins on Disney Channel..
-
What?! No Lana Kane or Abby from O’Grady?! I guess those are more 2010’s characters…but still! Anyway, this list rocks. 🙂
-
Storm was gorgeous. I used to want to be her when I was little.
-
I agree. Compared to the other fabulous characters she sticks out like a sore thumb. I’d rather Mary Melody from Tiny Toon Adventures.
-
O’Grady!!!! One of the most underrated cartoons ever. Abby was so hilarious. There should be a Part II to this list
-
What about Penny Proud and Suga Momma.. from the Proud Family
-
I came to this link looking for Penny Proud so you’re dead on with this one!
-
Most definitely yes to #1! I didn’t watch many of the shows on the list but X-Men was the high-light of my Saturday morning cartoon experience. I didn’t watch Strawberry Shortcake as a kid but one of my aunt’s bought me an Orange Blossom doll that I kept for many years. Thanks for posting this list!
-
What about Elisa Maza, from Gargoyles, dag nabit! She was pure bad ass!
-
Obscure, but there’s also Claudia Grant (or Claudia LaSalle depending on your translation) from Robotech, and wasn’t there an awesome girl in Dungeons and Dragons? Can’t remember.
But good list! I almost forgot about Goo.
-
I would also add Vixen from Justice League! Hero and Super Model-Can’t beat it!! She’s on my list anyway!
-
Omg what about Patty Mayonaise though??
-
&Francine from Arthur, Penny Proud?
-
the kids next door number 5 aka Abigail “Abby” Lincoln
Trixie Carter – American Dragon
-
Lana Kane – Archer
-
Dc McStuffins on Disney Channel
-
Love this list! I wanna staple it to my forehead. For Josie and the puss*cats I always wondered if Valerie was the lead singer. Sounded like it to me.
-
They should remake a live action Wonder Woman and cast, hmm…maybe FANTASIA! Yeah, I could see that…my goodness that’d be a sight.
-
You know she had to be lead singer with that voice. It’s Patrice Holloway. This is what she looked like back then. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=17097391&PIpi=16055538
-
Nikki – Barbie: Life in the Dream house
cedar wood – ever after high -
francine was jewish
-
Diana of “Dungeons and Dragons” will always be a favourite for me!
-
This list desperately needs Sailor Pluto!!!
-
yoruichi and mira rose in blean
-
Ah, Valerie…hot, talented, and could MacGyver things before there even was a MacGyver…
-
Yess! I love Goo, Gaia and Storm is my fave!! Very nice post! Ode to childhood! ♥
-
I love Susie, Storm is my favorite too & Jodie from Daria!
-
