Dr. Taylor Dee is an inventive educator in addition to being a vibrant entrepreneur and children’s book author

This businesswoman launched her academy and an instructional YouTube channel to empower the next generation with her creative thinking and passion. 

Dr. Dee graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor’s degree in Early/Elementary education, a Master’s degree in Youth Development Leadership, and a Doctorate in Curriculum And Instruction.

Her enthusiasm, experience, and dedication demonstrate her appreciation of the need for representation in the educational field. 

Her career change from public school teacher to entrepreneur came about as a result of her faith in her abilities to write, sing, dance, and teach children to read.

Her quest started when she bought a seatless school bus, which she converted into a mobile platform to use for her company,

Beyond Fit Kids and Tumba, as a means to promote her music, movement, and reading throughout the Carolinas.

And she keeps growing her influence via speaking engagements, content production, coaching, and educational development.

Dr. Taylor Dee states, “My goal is to keep encouraging creativity and assisting kids and teachers in discovering their own innate talents. There is wonderful work for all of us to do, and the time to do it is now.”
