My Journey as a Teen Mother: A Call to Action.
At the age of 18, I found myself navigating the profound and often overwhelming experience of falling pregnant. What should have been a time of exploration and self-discovery quickly turned into a journey fraught with challenges. As a teen mother, I faced societal shame and disappointment—not only from those around me but also from within myself. The weight of expectations and the fear of judgment loomed large, often overshadowing the joy of new life.
Despite the obstacles, I chose to return to school after the birth of my two children. This decision was not easy, but it was essential. Today, I am proud to say that I have made it to University,I am an Award Winner, Own Radio Program hosted by a national radio station.
—a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of education.
Through my work which started in 2018, I aim to empower young people, providing them with the resources, support, and understanding they need to navigate these pivotal moments in their lives. Together, we can break the cycle of shame and disappointment, fostering an environment where youth can thrive, discover their true identities, and make informed choices about their futures.
Join me in this mission to uplift and inspire. Let’s create a community that champions the voices of young mothers and advocates for change—because every young person deserves the opportunity to realize their potential without fear or stigma.
