Ghoat Talk TV LLC has built something unusual in today’s media world: a company where chart-topping urban fiction and children’s educational content exist side by side, both rooted in the same core mission of authentic community storytelling.
The company, owned by Lenor Mansa Musa Penferd, has already made its mark in publishing with three books hitting major bestseller lists. “Government Shutdown” reached the number one spot on Amazon, while “Wolf Vision” landed at number two on the same platform. “Consignment” secured the number two position at Barnes & Noble, establishing the company’s credibility in urban fiction.
But Penferd isn’t stopping with books aimed at adults. The company is preparing to launch “Bubba The Series,” an animated cartoon scheduled for 2026 that builds on an existing line of educational products called Bubba Busy Books. These workbooks and activity books teach children practical life skills, reading, mindset development, and even entrepreneurship through the character Bubba.
Where Entertainment Meets Education
The approach reflects a philosophy that runs through all of Ghoat Talk TV LLC’s work: entertainment should serve the community it comes from. The storytelling and media company creates content that speaks to urban communities with what it calls “raw entertainment” paired with tangible educational value.
Penferd’s journey from personal struggle to published author and media creator has been documented across multiple platforms. VoyageATL, Classic City News, IssueWire, and Bold Journey have all featured his story, highlighting how lived experience shapes the company’s output.
The target audience spans generations. Parents and educators looking for engaging tools to teach literacy and life skills find resources in the Bubba product line. Meanwhile, readers of urban fiction and motivational stories connect with the company’s novels, which tackle themes of struggle, growth, and redemption without sanitizing the reality behind them.
Looking Ahead to 2026 and Beyond
The launch of Bubba The Series represents a significant expansion for the company. Plans include not just the cartoon itself but a broader franchise encompassing digital content and additional educational products. The company aims to place these materials in schools, nonprofits, and youth programs nationwide.
Longer term, Ghoat Talk TV LLC envisions itself as a multi-platform media brand. The roadmap includes podcasts, films, animation, and live events, all designed to circle back to community impact. The company is seeking partnerships with organizations, schools, and brands to create programming that promotes literacy, entrepreneurship, and what it describes as mental strength and positive representation for Black and Brown youth.
It’s an ambitious set of goals for a company that started with books. But for an organization that has already bridged the gap between bestselling urban fiction and children’s educational content, tackling multiple media formats might just be the next logical step.
