I love this young lady!! So many young women need this type of support. I sure did! I was 16 when I had my baby and almost died worrying about what people would say and the embarrassment this brought to my parents. Blood pressure went so high they thought I wouldn’t make it through the delivery. For those negative people, go to HELL! You have no idea what it takes to survive something like this!! If you haven’t walked in our shoes, SHUT UP!! By the way, not only did I survive, I thrived and I’m living my best life. My daughter motivated me to become the best person and mother I can possibly be. And, she’s a beautiful young lady!!!

The sad part is not every 14 girl who get pregnant has the backing of a successful family unfortunately most come from a struggling one parent household.

[@KimberlyNYC]

KUDOS and much respect to the JAKES FAMILY; however the ANSWER in response to the inquiry of whether Malachi's dad is involved was a resounding NO, citing his privacy. IF he was involved, a simple YES would've sufficed! Lastly, in all transparency, how does a 13 or 14 year old daughter of a Bishop not be supervised or advised on the consequences of certain actions? Thankfully, she has become a first lady and pastor who is eloquent. And Malachi has an interesting presence as a teen film producer who is quite stylish on Instagram! Blessings to All!🙏🏾
