Shea Langdown was inspired to begin writing the Cheer Chick Charlie series after a trip to the U.S. and decided to bring cheerleading to her hometown in Canberra, Australia. The series promotes confidence, resilience, health and fitness.
"Being so involved in the cheer community in Australia, I wanted to create a concept that could inspire kids to grow and work towards something that they love," said Shea Langdown. "I am so thrilled to be able to bring Cheer Chick Charlie to the U.S. because that is where my inspiration for the collection began."

I feel confident with the success of shows like Kim Possible and other action characters, that once this brand reaches its target demographics, kids will not only be inspired by this positive character, but want more," said Villarreal.
