This week I sat down with Terri-Nichelle Bradley, the founder of Brown Toy Box, an educational toy company producing STEAM toys, media, and experiences for centering and celebrating Black children. While working full time, Terri-Nichelle took Brown Toy Box from being a side hustle to a full-scale business.
In this episode she shares:
- How she expanded to being sold in every Target nationwide
- Why she pivoted from being a subscription box to direct to consumer
- How she used her network and won investors to fund toy production
