Tonya Milligan is a Denver-based speaker and small business owner. Using her 30 years of experience as a child enrichment director, she founded the company Rent-A-Theme Entertainment, bringing learning through the joy of play to schools and child care centers throughout Colorado.

Tonya's personal statement says it all.  "As an Afro-American mother of two children that were raised in a Denver suburb community known for its gang violence, we experienced the miraculous daily. My son is now an orthopedic surgeon and my daughter an engineer; led by divine wisdom and guidance we overcame destructive culture norms, unfocused parenting, and complacency. Challenges all parents hope to successful navigate."  

 “Often the informational books I encounter spend a majority of the text trying to convince you why their method is important and then offering general principles with occasional examples. However, they don’t offer a systematic approach on how to implement what the author is advocating. Mom’s book, on the other hand, not only offers tips but provides a system by which you can become a better parent and does so while providing engaging anecdotes that help illustrate the points along the way.”
