Here's what people are saying about Tell Me Who I Am
Nicole Adewale, St. Louis, MO
"My daughter received "The Journey Begins" for Christmas and we love it! She is five and I have another daughter who is two. I am a busy career mom and so it is important to have videos that are entertaining and educational for us to share as a family. I hope one day to see Tell Me Who I Am as a regular cartoon series or at least a yearly video release. The colors, language, music, and information was coordinated to produce a very exciting video. I eagerly await the next installments of Tell Me Who I Am. Thank you KidPositive for all your hard work!"

"All the children wanted their own video after seeing it…We play the Tell Me Who I Am game in class now."
Tanya Homer, Teacher, Rochester, NY
I would love to see more episodes of the videos Tell me who I am. I would love to help my inner city students into a world where they can find who they are. I teach first grade in Rochester City in NY. Are there more episodes? I would like to write a grant to purchase them if they are available. I want to tell more people about the video

Thank You!!! My kids look forward to their daily lessons from, "Tell Me Who I Am" and would love to give them more. Where do I find the rest of the series?

"Yesterday my son received your Tell Me Who I Am video...he was so happy. Throughout the show, he laughed…and got excited about the music and stories. I am a single father that is definitely determined to give my son our story (Africa). Thanks!

"I just received the video on Monday past and my husband and daughter watched it together. We truly loved it. We haven’t seen this caliber of animation since Fat Albert. We loved the message to always seek knowledge. Please let me know when the next video will be released so we can order the next video in the series. I will definitely pass this along to all friends and family who have children. I only wish more people had internet access so they could order your videos. Please email me with new video info that comes available. Thank you for Tell Me Who I Am."
Cedric D. Fisher, Princeton, NJ
"I recently purchased one of your "Tell Me Who I Am" videos. At first glance it looked like a good video and seemingly has a solid organization behind it. Still, I was somewhat skeptical realizing I’ve purchased similar videos in the past that after my 3.5 year old daughter viewed it once she never requested to see it again. "Tell Me Who I Am" is different. In her brief life, she’s never taken to a concept like she has with this video. She not only requests to watch it no less than five times a day, she no longer has any interest in Barney, Teletubbies or Elmo. At least not for now. You have a winner here."

Tell Me Who I Am is a perfect title for this Video. I was overjoyed that I stumbled upon this wonderful educational tool to share with my immediate and extended family. Both the animation and the music were equally exiting to all who watched. Everytime my nieces come over they request this tape as a means of entertainment.
Now when I say, "Hotep" the children know exactly what I mean and they use it frequently. The interest in History has increased tremendously. Still waiting for tape 2.

I would just like to thank the producers of TMWIA for this wonderful animated adventure. The characters are vibrant and positive, they show courage, and they teach and inspire my children to learn about African History, Great African American achievement, and science using children of Diverse backgrounds. The positive hip hop songs are easy for my kids to remember. The kids watch the video over and over. My daughter felt good about herself when she was able to share with her classmates what she learned about Mae Jemison, Banneker, Imhotep, and the Dogon people of Mali.

I have had this movie in my possession for my children and me too and it is wonderful! It is a great tool for study and teaching children how to be enriched with their own history that is told by people that look like you and has a sincere interest in helping people of color to be comfortable in their own skin.

My two year old will sing "tell me who I am" and dance to the songs and the one year old will watch it with so much intensity its amazing! Thank you for this! I am very interested in purchasing this series!

Asante Sana for this cartoon. My 6 year old daughter and I love it!!! It reinforces all that we are teaching my daughter at home. From greeting family and friends with Hotep to calling Egypt by its proper name of Kemet to Discussing who's Imhotep and everything in between. We look forward to more episodes. Again Asante Sana! Asante Sana! Asante Sana!!! (Thank You Very Much!)

i absolutely MUST secure this in DVD form and will be throwing my support behind the series. Our family WILL be one of the subscribers. EXCELLENT work, Family!

Definitely will purchase the DVDs. All children must learn to be proud of themselves and this will be developed through knowing "who they are." Thank you for your dedication in changing the thought patterns of children and the world image of our children.
