That's So Raven was a children's show that aired on Disney Channel in the early 2000s. The show was different from others at the time, not just because the main character had powers, but because she was also a young woman of color (something that was missing from Disney's live-action shows).
While nearly every episode challenged the usual norm seen on TV shows at the time, these are the 10 topics it especially highlighted:
1.Representing a minority family on Disney Channel.
2.Having a strong young woman of color as the main character.
3.Storylines that showed girls and women having goals, power, and success.
4.Targeting body image and beauty standards.
5.Addressing racism in the workplace.
6.Peer pressure and the heavy consequences of it.
7.Addressing underage smoking.
8.Hazing in schools and groups.
9.Non-stereotypical friend group roles.
10.And having unique personalities that define the characters.
