On this episode, I interview Mijha Godfrey, co-founder of Jambo Books, a multicultural book subscription service for kids ages 0-13. Mijha is committed to ensuring that children of color have books where they see themselves as the stars of the story. She does this through curating diverse, inclusive, entertaining and engaging books for families.

During our conversation, we talk about the important role diverse and inclusive books play in a child's life, the theme of belonging, the inspiration behind Jambo Books and some great book recommendations.
