In this episode we are joined by Co-founder and Director of Kunda Kids, Louisa Kiwana Olafuyi, who is talking with us about the importance of representation in children's literature and the effect a lack of representation can have on children of all backgrounds.
Louisa also shares the story of how Kunda Kids first started in December 2020, that is, with the desire to ensure her son would grow up with a strong sense of self and pride knowing where his family came from and a strong focus on reimagining story-telling for children around the world. Over the last three years, Kunda Kids has successfully completed pre-seed raises of over $800,000, has their books in over 300 schools and libraries worldwide and has its own app that has over 20,000 downloads across 170 countries!
Louisa describes her journey and the mindset needed to succeed and allow Kunda Kids to break through the barriers they faced in setting up their education and tech company. Despite the significant financial and industry obstacles and rejections, Louisa and Dele persevered and she shares the lessons learned.
