Season three of "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder" includes Penny and her family embarking on adventures across the globe, starting in locations like Paris and Brazil. This season aims to showcase a unified family experience while presenting a diverse view of blackness worldwide. Some episodes will tackle significant issues such as colorism, specifically discussing the brown paper bag test often referenced within the Black community. The creators believe these topics will enlighten viewers and foster a deeper understanding of the realities faced by Black individuals.
"The first episodes actually take Penny and her family around the world, right? And that's fun to see the family on vacation. So, you know, we start in Paris and we go through Brazil, Nairobi, and it was important to tell that story because, A) it was good to see the family kind of unified to take this adventure, and then B) because you get to see a spectrum of blackness all around the world," said Smith.
"It's the quintessential episode that talks about one of the most taboo subjects in the Black community... the brown paper bag. That is always the guide to who's lighter than a brown paper back who's darker than brown paper bag," said Smith.
"It's a Black thing, if you will. And that's really what colorism is about. That's the thing that sort of hangs around our necks as Black people, because we still feel the effects of it to this day, because there's every shade of African American in this country, or in the world, certainly. And so we kind of talk about that. So it's a very good episode. I think people are going to be enlightened. And for those who aren't aware of what it is, they will be aware after this," added Farquhar.
