She Matters To Me with Dr. Chrisann Simpson Harley

Today's guest is Dr. Chrisann Simpson Harley. She is a Gynecologist, Entrepreneur who created an entire line of sanitary products (Woman's Touch and Mother's Embrace) and a woman on a mission. Not to mention, she is also an incredible wife and mother. In this episode, we talk about Dr. Simpson Harley's journey to her profession, her passion to create a product that worked for Caribbean women and how she is using that passion to fuel her ultimate goal, to improve the lives of Teen Moms and Pregnant Teens . Her initiative seeks to empower all women, young and old, to help them be fearless, know their worth, understand their influence and use it as a vehicle to develop Jamaica and impact the world. 

 

This was a powerful conversation for me especially as I find myself at the end of my 3rd pregnancy. It was heartbreaking and eye opening all at once but it fired me up to help to do my part in bringing awareness to these young women who are often left without a voice and discarded from society. I am making it a part of my personal mission to become a part of the solution. I hope you have many take aways from this episode and that you too make it your mission to be your sisters keeper.

"The implications of Teen Pregnancy is clear. Oftentimes, the teenage mother is excluded from school. Reintegration into the school system can be difficult. Some institutions refuse to accept these young mothers into their institutions.

With little to no education, their professional opportunities are limited, leaving these mothers in a position where they can't care for themselves and their children, the burden of care then rests with civil society and the government.

The girls are often frightened and demoralized with little to no support at a time when they are most emotionally and financially vulnerable. Often, these girls are left to fend for themselves while struggling to deal with the societal stereotypes which are attached to teenage pregnancy.

 

Teen moms need our love, guidance and support now more than ever.  Let us join hands and hearts to make a difference in the lives of these girls and the future of this nation.

 

Let's not judge, lets HELP!"
