Life after teen pregnancy.

Life in Zen is a blog dedicated to activism surrounding adolescent families. We believe in parenting equality and challenge negative connotations to adolescent childbearing. We know that individuals are far more than just statistics, and have seen positive results through compassion. Young families and those who love them will always be welcomed in our community.  #noteenshame #sisepuede

How Being a Single Teen Mom Prepared Me for Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship can be a natural fit for a single mother.

1. You are your own boss.

2. The sky is the limit.

3. It doesn't have to be high-risk.

4. It's a real-world MBA.

You DO deserve human rights.

You ARE NOT inferior or lesser.

You ARE worthy of respect.

Don’t let the bastards get you down, my sisters.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

4 years ago today, I had a son. He would turn trauma into triumph; pain became precious. He would remind me that love wins. Happy birthday, sweet boy. We love you louder. – Jennifer Christie
