Peta-Gaye Nash, a multi-genre writer and podcast host, brings a refreshing and deeply personal perspective to children's literature. Her stories, inspired by her Caribbean heritage and immigrant experiences, challenge colonial beauty norms and celebrate the journey of self-love. Through heartfelt narratives like "Don't Take Raja to School," inspired by her daughter's bond with a toy tiger, Peta-Gaye beautifully demonstrates how personal experiences and creativity intertwine to craft meaningful tales for young readers.
Peta-Gaye's transition from writing adult fiction to children's books unveils a fascinating journey driven by her life as a parent. Infusing her narratives with elements of social class and the significance of self-awareness, she crafts stories that resonate with both children and adults. During our conversation, Peta-Gaye also shared valuable insights into her process, including the influence of family stories and the childhood experiences that shaped her understanding of human behavior.
In this episode, we also explore Peta-Gaye's podcast "Heart to Art," which amplifies the voices of non-mainstream creatives and showcases resilience and creativity.
