VIDEO: Cleveland’s Young Mommy Speaks Out
Long gone are the days when having your first child in your 30’s is the exception to the rule. These days, women are waiting longer and longer to start a family, leaving young mommies, who have their first children in their late teens or early twenties feeling left out of the mainstream mommy community. But, as Tara Jefferson, the blogger who started The Young Mommy Life, clearly demonstrates, these young moms are balancing everything including college, graduate school and a job, all while taking care of their families.
“I created The Young Mommy Life as a space where moms could speak the truth about young motherhood, whatever that means to them,” says Jefferson. “I wanted to share my journey and give other young moms a voice, a place to feel like they belong.” Her blog went from just a few followers to over 1,000 subscribers – and it’s growing every day! In addition, this Cleveland mommy has made friends locally and around the country and the world through her blogging.
With a book in the works, it seemed like the perfect time for CoolCleveland to catch up with this young writer, entrepreneur, and of course, mommy.
