Boss Frog is an Afro-Latino Tree Frog from Columbia who was raised in Gainesville, Georgia and mentored by his Auntie Ms. Z.
If you could describe Boss Frog, you'd say slightly self-indulgent, dramatic, urban, funny and everyone knows he doesn't play about his nana! Boss Frog and his Auntie Z take on many adventures on their motorcycle, and together they sing, act, and dance.
Boss Frog educates on issues such as:
Mental health, Alzheimer's and Dementia, STEM, Health and Wellness, Literacy, Cancer, Child Obesity, Financial literacy, Bullying, Diversity and Inclusion, and Dwarfism Awareness and Motorcycle Safety.
