EVERYDAY FITNESS

L. M. Pinkett brings FITNESS, FOOD and FUN to the front line, as she is excited to provide a healthy and active lifestyle for young children. Certainly, it is not by coincidence that this author and mother has launched a worthy brand. At the age of six, Pinkett enjoyed helping her grandfather pick fresh vegetables and fruits from the family garden, as good nutritional values were then incorporated into the lives of her children. As a child, Pinkett also enjoyed creating animated characters and writing. But it was not until after college that her passion as a writer came into fruition. Pinkett began designing a line of plush dolls and created an innovative storyline to go along with them. This was the beginning of Pinkett’s career. With enthusiasm she found her way around 'The Big Apple,' and soon discovered the Toy Center. Pinkett became no stranger to the manufacturer-filled buildings. It was the place that offered her the most opportunity. She was fascinated with the Toy industry, and year after year she attended the New York City TOY FAIR. There is where she pitched her Design Patents to dozens of toy manufacturers that were intrigued with Pinkett’s creativity. Her work eventually led to small contracts, but the royalties were not enough to sustain a decent lifestyle. Although opportunities were there, it was (still) challenging for Pinkett, who made the decision to branch out into the Licensing Industry. She formed a company in the metropolitan area and collaborated with a superb team of artists… Juan Carlos Rodrigues, Brian McGee and Gary Grist. Each of the men offered a unique talent; from graphics, illustrating and writing.

Pinkett is most grateful for the many years that she stayed dedicated to the industry, which has gifted her with a wealth of knowledge. Today, while parents and their young children are now helping to make GOTIGER! a household name, Pinkett, along with her associate, Andrea Watson and the ‘Green Bambino’ team have huge plans for the brand. Pinkett says, “Our company will always make sure that the “GOTIGER! brand provides young children and their parents with the necessary tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle, because we want children (around the world) to be the BEST that they can be!”
