EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of the Black Businesses Matter podcast, we chat with Tonia Evens and Tamera Fair, co-authors and co-owners of The Purple Turtle Series. Together, they sought to bring classrooms to life through the magical adventures of Modi and Grapie. Tonia and Tamera share the inspiration behind the series, which emphasizes the importance of representation and accessibility, ensuring that both children and their parents can connect with the characters through reading.
Tonia and Tamera’s journey began with a mentorship when Tonia transitioned from hospitality to the childcare industry. She shadowed Tamera, a seasoned early childhood care owner, to learn the ropes and grow professionally. Their bond grew as they continued to pay it forward, empowering other Black women along the way.
Tamera also reveals how the idea for The Purple Turtle series emerged during a planned retreat, where she sought to address a significant gap in childcare by building a business that would solve the problem.
If you’re looking to transition careers, bridge a gap, or gain insight into the childcare industry, this episode is packed with valuable lessons.
