My Latest Outreach Project
This month I decided to end it with a recap of a project I believe is a positive step towards social change in the world. Small, but successful. I'm sure you know I have a huge heart for single parents in general, but this year I wanted to really impact my community by focusing on one particular area.
Studies show that although the Teen pregnancy rate has decreased since 2010, teen pregnancy in Texas has grown to reflect economic challenges in low poverty areas. Teens are not finishing High School and living on government assistance.
I believe together we can live positive and fashionably meaningful lives that will create positive change in our society. Creating outreach projects, advocating, and working as a Liaison for the economically distressed allows me the opportunity to be the change I really want to see in our communities and for women and young mothers. I also strongly believe if we stunt growth of teen pregnancy by educating the masses on the value of self value in a society that glamorizes beauty and sex, we can empower spiritual growth and self ambition. This will also cultivate a new standard of beauty. A standard in the millennial that is often hidden behind worldly validation and lack of Godly confidence.

I want to support "striving to thrive" teen moms, educate young women on the importance of teen pregnancy prevention and self worth, as well as advocate for Teen Moms. On April 9, 2015 some of my favorite people and I, hosted a Live Prom Primp Day for teen moms in the Irving ISD.
We garnered formal gowns, shoes, accessories donations and whole a lot of love to shower teen moms who are staying the course to finishing High School with the opportunity to attend one of their High School milestones. The smiles and gratitude from the young women gave me so much peace. Below are a few moments captured from the day. This is not the last you will hear of this project!
Okay so I haven't posted since last year. #lazybloggersyndrome I have been making strides to finding my ultimate purpose in life. I've found my favorite outlet which is Facebook www.facebook.com/tiyunnajohnson.
I find it easier and less intimidating than blogging. ERRGGHH...
