As one of five children of a single mother, Ms. Tablan plans to not only grow a successful business, but to help create opportunities for local people that are new to the country, struggling for a better future or are a single parent. She even aims to provide her employees who are single parents with daycare at her office so they can go do their cleaning job, knowing their children are taken care of.
