Founders Note:

From the creator of the In Search of Identity Game

" 30 years ago, I started a toy company called IDENTITY TOYS. Some of you may remember playing the In Search of Identity Game; when you were growing up . While the company didn’t survive — my passion for helping Black children grow up proud did!

 

With GROW UP PROUD, I'm renewing that mission in a more powerful way — using AI to help every Black child learn who they are, where they come from, and what they're capable of."

— Lucy Holifield, Founder - Grow Up Proud
