About I can fly.
Hello and welcome to I can fly. We are the store where kids can fly.
Our mission is to design uplifting, multicultural, character-driven kids clothing and accessories.
Mom, artist and owner Doris Oswald-Burrell was hit by a creative spark when her biracial daughter was
about to be born. Wondering how life would change and what challenges would arise, she decided to
do what she does best: draw, draw and draw. Possessing a degree in art education, she finally
returned to her own roots and launched the kids apparel company I can fly. in 2002.
Our original line, "I can fly.", is headed by Paula Bean AKA The Girl Jumping on the Bed. Paula Bean
and her gang are real. They are the kids in our neighborhoods--black, white, interracial, Asian,
Hispanic, etc! They love life and most of all they ALL can fly.
This company is for my little daughter Mia Boo, and for you Ana, Ian, Ava, Nina, Jesse, Justine and
Antony who are also interracial, for little Porter and Caleb, who's parents are gay, for Olivia who's
parents are Canadian-Australian, for my godson Anton and his sister Lisa, who's parents are German,
and for you little one, who's parent is looking out for you. Peace.
