“Books allowed me to see a world beyond the front porch of my grandmother’s shotgun house…[and] the power to see possibilities beyond what was allowed at the time.” ----- Oprah Winfrey, author of The Wisdom of Sundays: Life-Changing Insights from Super Soul Conversations

Here at GoNoodle, we strive to create positive role models of strong women and girls that are reflective of the incredible audience of young people that consume our content. In an evolving world, we recognize the power of representation and the responsibility that we share in providing quality role models for all.

This is why the personalities and stories of each of our Champs mean so much to us. The Champs personify the free spirit and joy that we hope to share with the world. They also represent an opportunity for us to introduce mindfulness, STEAM, and a variety of personalities to kids in an approachable way.
