My memories of the books read to me as a child are vague at best. If we are lucky, we will get Youngna back sometime in the future for a discussion of parenting narratives. So, I am very pleased to say that I put aside my preconceptions and we talked about children's books. However, when we spoke, I realized that as much as I love a good discussion about fiction and fiction writers, a discussion with Youngna about children’s books and parenting narratives would be a unique and very special opportunity. My immediate reaction was to try to steer Youngna towards a discussion of fiction. When Youngna and I emailed about what she might like to discuss, she said that there were three categories of books she most often reads, fiction, parenting and motherhood books, and children's books. Youngna speaks regularly about building digital products, product management, designing for children, and building a company with a diverse team.īoth Melanie and Eden, who worked with Youngna at Tinybop, suggested I speak with Youngna on the podcast. Previously, Youngna was COO and Head of Product at Tinybop, and Youngna has also been a digital producer and a filmmaker. Younga is the Executive Director of Parenting at The New York Times, and is currently leading a team at the Times building a new parenting product.
