Business and Culture Podcast

Have you ever had a passion for something that effortlessly turned into a business?

Yolanda Marshall, a proud Guyanese immigrant to Canada, sets out to write children's books that celebrate different cultures when she discovered the lack of representation in the Canadian publishing industry.

2. Writing for Kids: Learn how Yolanda began writing for children and her motivation for creating books that celebrate culture and diversity.

3. Staying True to Yourself: How Yolanda was able to leverage her authenticity to land a publishing deal
