Larcina Chappell. Having a Baby as a Teen, Losing a Child as an Adult and Choosing Not to Wear Your Struggle.
Manage episode 362826077 series 3324084
This townie actually attended middle school and high school at the same time as me! Different paths never intersected our stories, however, until this interview. Larcina hasn’t had an easy road, but she has remained steady and consistent in her choices—putting food, shelter and her two children at the top of her priorities.
Listen as this Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) talks about finding out she was pregnant in high school, never actually talking to her mom about the pregnancy, her obsessive budgeting, growing up too fast and getting behind in her studies—ultimately failing to graduate with her class. Years later, Larcina becomes pregnant with her second child. This time she has a devastating stillbirth. Later, she successfully gives birth to another child, a girl, leaving her with two children to raise on her own. Larcina prides herself on her children beating the odds as her oldest, Ray, is childfree and years older than she was when she had him. This mama worked hard to earn a CMA license while giving her kids a better life along the way.
