Hi there! I’m Courtney, and I am #YoungMomStrong! At the age of 21, an unplanned pregnancy changed my life forever, but not in the way you might expect. Despite what the statistics say, I’m defying the odds and paving my own way. To make a long story short, I graduated college in less four years (just two days before I gave birth to my daughter), landed my dream job and have hit the ground running ever since, receiving two promotions at one of Michigan’s leading integrated PR firms (all under the age of 25). As the voice of young moms in Metro Detroit, I'm here to prove that being a young mom doesn’t limit or define you. I recently started a blog, Motherhood & Main, as a community where moms of all ages can come together to share experiences, empower one another and bring positive change to the conversation of young motherhood within society. So, what do you say? Let’s join forces and break the cycle of judgment and discrimination young mothers face! There’s no better place to start than right here in the D.
