The Adventures of Aloe Vera

The Adventures of Aloe Vera is a children’s show that validates complex emotions relevant to kids and adults through the storyline of a tortoise (Aloe Vera) and their friends. Aloe Vera --who is notably a gender neutral character-- normalizes emotional expression and progressive perspectives that can fall outside of a mainstream narrative. Each episode explores modern social issues (i.e. consent, housing, alternatives to police) in an effort to spark critical thinking within a framework of humanity, intersectionality and community building.
