She had a support system which most single mothers don’t have. Kudos to her mom
Yeah she was big blessed
She had a support system and a dream. Push herself to that dream. She gave up a lot. She loves her kids. Nice
Yes God was her support system
I wouldn’t say most single moms don’t have a mother. She didn’t have a father like most single moms. She did a great job!
@@HappyGilmore-ep3iq i’m not sure where you got your information from according to your comment most single mothers don’t have a mother was never said above. I said most single moms don’t have a support system and I gave kudos to her mom for her support.
I had a classmate got pregnant at 14. She is a lawyer now. She worked triple hard to take care of the kid and going to school all by herself.
Girl thank
God for mama and family will be there for you but you have to have manners and respect
God bless your family
Ihave six girls I am proud to be there mother it wasn't easy but
God made away thank you jesus they are a blessing to me
What a great story, may they continue to thrive.
She’s phenomenal.
Her parents would have had had to raise her kid. She couldn't even take care of herself at that age. Hell, many teen moms don't even get to graduate high school.
Three things standout to be… 1. This mother’s attitude and tenacity, 2. Her mother’s love and support 3. Gods protection
I AGREE WITH YOU BUT YOU SHOULD'VE PUT GOD FIRST BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM WE WOULD'VE BEEN NOTHING 🙏🙌🙏
I left an abusive marriage with 2 toddlers in tow. I raised my 2 sons as a single mother. One is an aerospace engineer and the other one is studying to be a neuroscientist. It was not a walk in the park, but I soldiered on through the difficulties. I thank God, The Almighty for all the blessings. I look at my sons with gratitude and humble pride.
Wow. Good for you! I also was a single Mom. I hated when experts quoted statistics of single parent children. I determined to raise my 2 children with a belief in God. They turned out very successful also .
👏🏾
Salute to you and congrats!!!!
@@PA-zt6xu Thanks, dear.
@esmcguire Congratulations on your hard work. May God bless you and your children. We beat the odds. Thank you, God.
A teen mom who still looks like a teen? Happy mother's day to all❤
She had the baby at 15. Off course she looks young🤷🏼♀️
@@Treemonieee Hater 🫤
@@Treemonieee that doesn’t have much to do with it.
Yeah, she's got dem good good genes.😁😍
@@laketa716 I do not think that anyone is hating, hating would suggest jealousy, no one wants to be a teen mom, that is not a goal.
She is a rarity, even at a young age, she understood the assignment.
When he closes one door, he opens another one. She never gave up.✊🏿🥰🥰
Amen amen
To all the single mothers out there know your never alone 🙏🏼
Yes, Yes, we wears two hats . I love her story 🙏🏾🙏
She’s an exception not the rule.
Oh I was very alone
@@Rowan-mo4koBut we succeed as parents regardless. Sometimes all we need is GOD.
Many times, they are.
This is the difference between believing in yourself and giving up. She never gave up and kept her faith. Truly inspiring!
Mom overcame statistics and stereotypes and raised two wonderful daughters who are successful. It’s because of her that they are! ❤
Amen...anyone who sees otherwise, is a hater.
I really don’t see how that’s possible considering how much money it costs to raise a child, teens can’t even afford to feed themselves.
Well Friend... That is the textbook-non book definition of Faith... It's impossible to see it❣️and remains elusive to those who find it difficult to logically understand that they also have been given a measure of faith, and all you need for it to grow is a grain...not even an entire seed. Just grain of mustard seed size faith and encouragement in the Lord Jesus Christ to grow...
He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Matthew 17:20 -
Are you willing to believe it for yourself, now that you have actually seen and heard it take place in another? I'm praying for you to take a grain of faith and try it for yourself 👑.
@@misanneoneSuch a beautiful comment! I love it! ❤
Men be dropping the ball on good wives. Perfect example. I’m glad her children didn’t have to suffer due to the single mother struggle ❤
How do you know she is a good wife? She can be a liar and cheater... stop the rubbish
@@cheflaco she a great mother of two children. That’s part of being a good wife. It’s crazy every time we support are woman here comes a hater, your insecurities are showing.
Being a wife is not a good thing for women. It's essentially signing up to be an unappreciated slave...
@@Cometalktome aww stfu.... you are spewing str8 bs... how does being a great mother automatically make you a great wife.. 🤡...smh
@Cometalktome what you said made absolutely no sense... very typical tho... 🤡
I did it! Pregnant at 18. I put myself through college while working. My parents gave me love and encouragement. I put my daughter through college. She’s now 38. I got married had my second daughter, got divorced. I found myself single again. She’s 22 and graduated on May 8th 2024 from college. I have on granddaughter age 13. My eldest daughter is expecting her 2nd child in November. I am 56. I look back on my journey without regret. I lived, loved and raised beautiful young and smart young ladies. You get out of life what effort you put into it! ❤❤️
That part
Congrats to you guys!!! That is amazing.
God is GREAT!!!
Amen. I was pregnant at 18 and my daughter born a month after I turned 19. She motivated me to succeed bc I knew I wanted so much better for her.
She was 14…there is a big difference between 14 and 18
I saved their life one time, they saved my life MULTIPLE times🙏🙌🙌Powerful❤
Her daughters are like that because she is a good person, works hard and never gave up, congrats
Beautiful story. Beautiful family. May the Lord continue to bless you all.
💗💗💗🙌🏽💯
🙏🏽
Her priorities were her children. And it shows. I got pregnant at 17. Dropped out of school bc I was embarrassed. Our parents gave us a small loan to invest in a small business. 4 more kids followed. Thanks to the flexibility of our business we never had to count on anyone to raised our children. Everyone was impressed how I raised such wonderful well mannered children who ALL by the way graduated college and working to support themselves. From a mom who never finished high school
I had a friend who got pregnant at 14.. now she's an accountant. She was good kid that got side tracked..😢. Your current circumstance does not dictate your future.. Just work hard...
3+ Generations of Strong, Supportive, Purpose-Driven Women 👏💐
They told me the same thing i had my son he is 25 yrs old play College football major in Criminal Law became a COP and now just had his first baby boy...my second son is one of the highest rank TE in the nation as he plans to enter the NFL draft next season and i have a 6yr old ...who is healthy and thriving....Glory be TO GOD for all his mercy and love and protection💯💥
Well 25 is not really young, in other countries. Most women have their kids at 25 and younger.
@originaleverythingelseisca5977 her son is now 25
@@originaleverythingelseisca5977 she said that her SON is 25
Were their daddies in their lives?
There is no victim mentality in this family. What a fabulous family who realized their future depends on their decisions, not on others.
Judge Not Are Be Judged...Matt 5-7
You don't Know 😢 Their Story. Victim
Mentality Thoughts
w/ Depression depends on Ones Support System one has. Not sure What Race You Are...but I hear Mostly "Victim Mentality" words come from White Eros..that may have had the easy road 🛣️. Even if you did not. Learn to Save that "Victim Mentality" for yourself....Because Something Must Have Happened To You...A Mindset in your Family Lineage..."To Even Make You Say It"....When talking about Other Race. "Know Better...Do Better"...and Prayers...that You Be The One...To CHANGE THE Mindset ..of Your Future Children. So they want be Victims of hateful Rhetoric Also. 🙏 🕊️ ❤️.
but even if she did have that mentality it would be rightfully so. TF?
You’d never think this young lady was born to a teen mom
Teen mom now Ed.D. here! We’re everywhere 👊🏽💪🏾🙏🏾💜
Why would u say that
She wasn't, she was the teen mom. Her father passed away. Her daughter is a MD and one in college.
Born to a teen mom, and raised by daycare and her mother. 👈🏽👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
Daycare and her mother took care of her children while she worked. I’m glad that she appreciates her mother’s help, because teenagers should not be parents. After you’re educated, employed and can manage your life, 30 is the best age to have children. 👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
Never judge a book by its cover. We’re definitely out here, living successful lives.
Omg this mom personality is so amazing. She radiates so much positivity and excitement that her kids are lucky to have such a good spirited mom with them
I was a teen mom at 16 grad from high n college despite all the bumps in the road . I was looked down on called names. I was told by my teacher i wasn't going to be anything . I graduated with a 4. 2 GPA, and my daughter walked with me to get that high school diploma. I applaud her for living her dreams and not believing what others had to say.
👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Her babies are going to make sure her retirement is blessed and fulffilled...already fulfilld her life. This young woman is wonderful and hardworking and a blessing...i pay her life is all the way up from here ....just wonderful...great job daughters! Your mom is truly EVERYTHING AND LIFE!HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO HER!
Such a wonderful Mom ..She learned from her Mom ..her girls will learn from their Mom .. Blessings to each of you..
🙏🏽
Sherrel needs to make a movie about her life!!!
Wow...her girls are a blessing to themselves and to others. Mom, you did a wonderful job. She cracked me up with the "Thank you God for giving me better kids than you gave my mom".
She is a wonderful woman and a great mother she has a one of a kind spirit ❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad her mom was there for her and watched the kids for her to go to work and didn't just throw her away because she was a teen mom. Because that enabled her to give her daughters a great life, and now they're a doctor and in college. Love this for them. Rare story
God is good . Proud of u mom and daughters
God's intention was that their be a Father and a Mother.
I love this story for multiple reasons! Teenage pregnancy doesn’t mean that your world is over or your child’s and neither is a high school diploma and/or a college degree is the only way to succeed! Well done ladies!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Beautiful! May the Lord bless you all ladies!
The Lord intended for children to have a Father And a Mother no one Parent can make-up for what was the Lord's Plan.
Had a friend that got pregnant when we were 13, she got into a young mom program and graduated ahead of us is a nurse and her son is thriving. Straight A’s his step sibling and dad are great too. So happy to see. She didn’t have the best family life, she wanted better for her kid and she got it. So proud of you Camille and Nathan ❤️
💗💗💗💗
That’s great. We need young mom and young dad programs to guide kids when they make unwise decisions.
I did not receive my Masters until I was almost 45. I had an ex who left me to do everything for our child. My child is now off to one of the most amazing engineering schools in the country. I am standing on my own 2 feet. Congrats to her!
God is good!!
ALL THE TIME! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
This mom is amazing
Women like her need to get together and do speaking engagements to young girls. She is very inspiring. Congratulations you did an amazing job!
Watching this brings tears to my eyes. What an EXCELLENT MOTHER. I applaud her ❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
These aren't tears of joy in my eyes, it's an allergy! lol. May God continue to bless them in all that they do. What a beautiful reminder of what gratitude, grace and determination looks like in real life.
You are so fortunate to have a support system and a good example. Your daughters are blessed to have such as strong family. You didn't allow yourself make excuses to fail.
I can watch stories like this over and over. Made my heart smile. They all look like sisters
Congratulations to each of them!!❤
THIS IS WHAT I CALLED SISTER'S POWER,
What a woman!! What a mother!! GBU
Perfect choice to showcase this beautiful story for Mothers Day!
This young lady had a tremendous support system. Kudos to her for learning and utilizing what that system had to offer. And believe it or not, a lot of young black single mothers has that kind of support. Its what they do with it thats important.
She is a beautiful soul! May God continue to bless her whole family.
The support system makes it happen❤
What an inspiration!!! She is an example of a doer and not a whiner poor pitiful me attitude!
Beautiful family, wonderful mother! ♥♥♥
Her mother took care of her child while she worked. I’m glad that she appreciates her mother’s help, because 14 is too young to be a parent. After you’re educated, employed and can manage your life, 30 is the best age to have children. 👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
Who says
She has done better than a lot of people who had children at 30. I agree, her story is 1 in a million but, she beat the odds.
She and her childern have accomplished more than couples who get married and with to have children. There is no blueprint for being a successful mother/father.
@@JohnW9012So very true. So many 2 parent households who raise children destroy them because they were not happy with each other or their careers.
30 is pushing up on geriatric pregnancy…which is 35 or older.
My mom had me at the age of 15. My grandmother,Nanny, was taking care of us and then my grandmother’s health started declining so my mom took care of us 💞 Whoever is supposed to be here will be here. No one can stop father God’s Will. My mom is now gone as of 2021 at the age of 71😔🙏🏽💝 Continued blessings to this beautiful family🙏🏽🎉🥰💐
Amazing mom and daughters.
Beautiful. This is meant for many young ladies to see, very uplifting 🙏🏾🥰
Well if it is to tell them that they can still do it being single, but not to try this, thinking that it is a goal.
Im so happy this is NEWS!! You are so amazing ❤❤
This is so beautiful, great job grandmother, mother and daughters. Keep pushing and being an inspiration to all.
Great job mom. You've proven them wrong and I'm so proud of u.
Beautiful family such an amazing mom may God continue to bless this family
Love her positive energy.💖💖
Maybe not the best choices to start, but this young lady has the moxy to get it done. Hats off to her.
Perfect story to see on Mother's Day weekend!!❤❤❤
My daughter was a teen mom. It hurt me because she waa my baby and she finished high school, went got her bachelors and last year finished her masters degree while helping with her dad who was very ill. He didn't get a chance to watch her walk the stage , but her family on my side and her fathers family showed up and showed out. Just like this young lady. I stopped working so she could finish high school
WOW! That's remarkable! Some people can't accomplish that with no children! That's a blessing! Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Job well done!!!
YOU'RE AN AWESOME MOM...YOU HAD THE DRIVE AND DETERMINATION...MAY GOD CONTINUES TO BLESS 🙌 GUIDE AND PROTECT YOU YOUNG LADY
God Bless this mother and her children🙏😊
What a beautiful story. What a way to turn what could have been considered a mistake, to the best thing in your life. Kudos to you and your daughters.
I love her journey and how enthusiastic she is. I smiled along with her, through this entire interview. Well, her girls made me shed a tear or two, in the end. Mom, is an inspiration. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
She is amazing! It shows how pride, worth ethic, love & kindness is taught and how much our kids watch us. She definitely deserves to be proud of herself as well as her girls.
God bless this beautiful mama and her children 🙏🏼💙🤍🕊️✨
*I appreciate the news highlighting this story!! She made an errant/unideal situation work to the best of her abilities, for **_all_** parties. She trusted and had faith in herself, and the baby [who] she just knew would be special. Not everyone's path, of course, but I am SO pleased (and proud) that it worked for all of them❣ I especially appreciate the timing of this story, given the endless **_vitriol_** expressed in these same YT comment sections about single brown mothers. TFS, and continued/infinite blessings to her and fam.* 💖
What a complete breath of fresh air this woman is. Not only has she raised phenomenal daughters, but she’s worked hard every step of the way. It’s fantastic that her family were able to help her, but that in no way detracts from the incredible job she herself has done! Congratulations on her business and all good wishes to her for the future.
Kudos to this young lady for not giving up on her baby or herself. And kudos to her mom for helping her to be responsible. God bless this family ❤🙏🏾❤
Very very beautiful story for mother’s days
Beautiful family. So proud of this young lady.
She didn't kill her babies. She's a hero ❤ CHOOSE LIFE ❤
The support of her mother made all the difference for her will to survive and then thrive! Fantastic story.
Please dear lord, let me follow in her footsteps. I’m glad that somebody noticed, what a great story. Single mothers represent.
Great story!!! Truly inspiring 😊.
This Lady is so Amazing, My mother is a kind of person like this, very hard working, Dear Father God please bless mothers like this.
She looks so young. Happy Mothers day!
What a wonderful woman. God bless her & her loved ones!
She's a beautiful soul inside and out. God bless her and her family.
Wow!! Positivity, Hardwork and Thankfulness a recipe for her success and her children’s success! Kudos to her!
This is a wonderful story, truly wish those dedicated single mothers and fathers blessings for all they do.
This is a wonderful and very inspirational story. Well done to Sherrel Lemon for working so hard to raise her daughters, despite being a teenage mother. Congratulations to both daughters for their achievements too.
You are not defined by your circumstances. She is the perfect example of that. What a great example you are to your children 👏🏽 ❤
Does she also take responsibility for what she has failed to give her daughter's.
Hats off beautiful lady. You are truly an inspiration
This is an example of a person who wanted something out of life and never gave up. She took what people thought were stumbling blocks and made it a stairway to success. Strong woman made strong women. I salute you. BUT GOD
Oh my goodness I can absolutely see how far she’s going! Stay on that journey dear.🙏🏻🕯️
loved this its so sweet. mother was very vibrant and cheerful and her children carry the same personal. this is gods work in their lives the blessings 🙌
Dont you just want to be with people like that, rather than those who are always victims! What a great person!
Such a beautiful, encouraging and impactful story for other black single mothers!!! Please do more of these.
This is an absolute good story for a Mother's Day. We all share the similar stories. I love it! Thank you for sharing and happy mother's day to all the mothers out there.
I love this family, I love this lady. Her children rose up to bless. Thank you for not listening to the enemy ...kiwanus young ❤
From personal experience, this person is a TRUE light inside and out. Could not be happier for her and her children. Ahhhh!!!!
Yes so wonderful. My daughter did the same for me. I wanted to give her all that I could so I work hard daily for her.
This family is awesomely beautiful.May they always have success, love and happiness. Beautiful story. ❤
As a teen mom as well, this made me smile so much. They are all beautiful… I love this for them. ❤
Great job mom and grandmother!
Great story! Beautiful family.
