The Inspiration behind Huggie
Huggie Hugglesworth™ was inspired by the sweetest muse; Dr. Ree’s own son. His imagination, curiosity, and love for learning shaped Huggie’s personality, kindness, and big-hearted energy. As Dr. Ree’s son explored the world around him, his playful questions and digital experiences became the blueprint for a character who helps other little learners navigate technology with confidence.
Dr. Jeree Spicer known as The Cyber Boss® is a former early childhood teacher turned cybersecurity expert and cyberpsychology researcher. With a Doctorate in Cybersecurity and a background in child development, she combines the science of safety with the heart of motherhood. Creating Huggie Hugglesworth™ allowed her to merge her passions of protecting children, educating families, and celebrating the brilliance of little Black and Brown learners. Through Huggie, Dr. Ree gives families the tools to teach digital safety early in a way that is age-appropriate, culturally inclusive, emotionally supportive, and joyful. Huggie is more than a character — he’s a love letter to her son and a gift to every family raising digital kids.

He helps reduce tech anxiety for parents, supports healthy emotional development, and prepares little ones for a connected world.
