My Proud Baby

Founded: 2019

Industry: Retail, Baby Products, Inclusive Brands

About: I started My Proud Baby after seeing a lack of black charaters on baby products. After doing a little research I found out that at a very young age, children can recognize themselves in the world around them and I decided to move away from generic designs and use black characters and cultural designs across all My Proud Baby Products.

Since 2019, My Proud Baby has launched 6 swaddle blankets with unique designs, pacifiers in two different colors, personalized birth posters, personalized star charts, and several different character posters.

My Proud Baby has built in support pipelines to give back to mothers in need. Over the last few years we have donated over 300 swaddles, and other products, through the Los Angeles BIH, AAIM Los Angeles programs, and programs supporting mothers fleeing domestic violence.
