“This book is a call to arms for anyone who believes higher education is not a luxury, but a fundamental right…It is for those who feel the pull to champion families pushed to the margins, to stand with them in their fight for a brighter future. It is an excavation of the past, a journey into the heart of how we arrived at this moment—how mothers and fathers in poverty became stranded so far from the shores of opportunity and economic mobility. And most importantly, it is a blueprint for the future, a roadmap for the work we must do to build a path toward lasting change.”
- Nicole Lynn Lewis

 
 

'What if we said yes instead of no? That was the guiding star in the design of our program,' writes the author, whose voice shines with both vulnerability and wisdom. She does not portray herself simply as a victim or a hero but rather as an ambitious, loving, resourceful, Black single mother constantly fighting systemic racism. Throughout the text, she weaves in context drawn from research and her own personal experiences mentoring teen parents, articulating the racist systems that often keep teen parents uneducated, poor, and desperate. A frank, thoroughly contextualized portrayal
of Black teen motherhood.
