I Became A Mom At 13 & Grandma At 31 | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

MICHELE had her first baby at 13-years-old. While she was judged as a teen mom, Michele was determined to prove people wrong and described becoming a mom as ‘soul changing’. Now, she is a mom to four daughters; Alecia, Arianna, Addyson and Aliyah. Michele became a mom-of-three by the time she was 21. She told Truly: “Having my girls so young, I truly feel like we grew up together, so I was learning how to life as I was teaching them how to be a little independent humans.” The content creator became a grandma at the age of 31 as her eldest daughter, Alecia, got pregnant at 17-years-old. Michele said: “Being a grandma in my thirties is not what I expected, but it is such a blessing.” While she was initially shocked, she supported her daughter through everything and felt the experience brought them closer together. Michele shares her story on social media and has had a lot of positive responses to her content but there has also been a lot of judgement. People say she’s glamorising teen pregnancy. Referring to her 18-year-old daughter, Arianna, Michele said: “I call her my teen pregnancy cycle breaker.” She is proud of her family as they continue to flourish. She said: “I hope anybody that is watching our story unfold sees and knows that they can get through anything in life. It’s definitely hard, but you can definitely get through it.”
