The Road Less Traveled: Being a Student-Centered Educator is a Journey not a Destination

According to statistics, fewer than 2% of teen mothers earn a college degree before age 30. Furthermore, over half of all parenting college students leave school without a degree. Parent students, who are experiencing the stress of both educational requirements and parental duties, are a demographic who are often neglected and under-resourced by our educational institutions. On this week's episode of the Black on Black education, we sat with renowned author and CEO, Nicole Lynn Lewis. Nicole Lewis is the founder and CEO of Generation Hope, a nonprofit organization that works directly with teen and student parents to ensure they have the opportunities to succeed and experience economic mobility while engaging with education and policy partners to drive systemic change. Nicole Lewis is also the author of a critically acclaimed memoir, Pregnant Girl that retells her experiences being a college parent fighting for opportunities for her and her child. Throughout our session, we talked about her experiences as a Black mother and college student fighting for opportunities, the systemic hardships and social stigmas that student parents face, her transformative work through Generation Hope, the racial inequity of access to reproductive care and education between Black and white communities, the need for federal and local policy support for young families and much more. This is an episode you don't want to miss!
