In this episode, Umar is joined by Patrick Adom the co-founder of Very Puzzled, which he created along with Naima, his 10-year-old daughter.  They discuss representation and diversity in toys, particularly how having access to multicultural toys from a young age reduces the chances of children being singled out because of how they look or where they come from.
