Episode 1: Pregnant at 16
Description
At 17, we were raising babies. Today, we’re raising the bar.
In this inaugural episode of the Wishful Doing Podcast, Dr. Ja’Bette Lozupone sits down with Yoslin Amaya-Hernandez, Program Manager at Wishful Doing, for a raw and inspiring conversation in honor of Teen Mom Awareness Month. The two discover they share a remarkable parallel—both became teen moms at 16 and gave birth at 17—yet neither let that define their destiny.
Together, they explore the power of support systems, the stigma teen moms face, and what it looks like to rewrite your story on your own terms. From motherhood to leadership, from struggle to strategy—this episode is a love letter to resilience and a rallying cry for those who’ve ever been underestimated.
This is not just a conversation. It’s a legacy in the making.
