Production notes

Penny is a 14-year-old African-American girl who's doing her best to navigate through the early years of teendom. Fueled by a never-ending passion for growing up, Penny's every encounter inevitably spirals into bigger than life situations filled with hi-jinks, hilarity and heart. Penny's quest to balance her home, school and social lives are further complicated by friends like Dijonay, her nemesis LaCienega, her loving- if not overprotective- parents, and her hip-to-the-groove-granny, Suga Mama.
