Moms,

We’re so excited to have Amanda Jelks http://jelkslaw.com chat in the app next Monday May 22, 2017, 10:30 to 11:30 AM PT (1:30 PM ET, 12:30 PM CT) . The topic is Overcoming the Impossible: From Teen Mom to Lawyer and Motivational Speaker.

Amanda was pregnant at 14, but it didn't stop her from graduating at the top of her high school class. She worked two jobs at a time to put herself through college and law school. Now she launched Jelks Law in the summer of 2015. Here are her words:

My law practice focuses primarily on providing a peace of mind to entrepreneurs and small business owners through my business legal services and estate/succession planning. As business owner myself, I understand not only the legal concerns of business owners but I also have a real world view of what it takes to operate a successful business. Let me help you protect the business you've worked so hard to build.

Apart from my business, I am a motivational speaker. Since 2001, I have given motivational talks to diverse audiences at schools, colleges, churches, and nonprofits to help individuals overcome tremedous odds to reach their maximum potential. Although it may not be written on my face, I overcame some pretty difficult situations to get to where I am today and, even more so, where I'm going. Read more about my journey from being a teenage mom to valedictorian (while working full time) to college graduate in 2.5 years and more in the Chattanooga Times Free Press and also the Hamilton County Herald.

I am honored to serve on the Board of Directors for the City of Chattanooga's Health, Educational and Housing Facility Board as well as the advisory boards for the Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce, the MOMentum Network and the Educational Opportunity Center. From 2013 to 2016, I served on the board of directors for Chattanooga Room in the Inn, a homeless shelter for women and children which supplies women with the resources necessary to end the cycle of homelessness.
