Q3: @amandajelks I love that you’re an activist and call yourself an intersectional feminist when it can be such a controversial term? When did your activism start and do you think it helped empower you to achieve all your success? momlifechats
How old? How old were you when you lost your virginity?
when your children turn 18 How old will you be?
You know you have children when... You get to work and notice that your pants have smudges of unidentifiable origin from the knee down. ?

My activism started in high school, months after I had given birth, when I realized that a majority of my peers thought that teen pregnancy and drug abuse was not a real issue. Although I was quite shy at that stage in life, I was able to convince the superintendent over the local schools to have a forum on those issues. That is also what immediately launched my public speaking. I transformed into an advocate, a person who can have the hard conversations even if my voice shakes while doing so. Intersectional feminism is the perfect blend of my two primary causes - minorities and women. Traditionally, feminism has quite routinely left minority women out of the mix. I do think it has helped me get to where I am today. Many of the transitions I have made in life, including starting a business, were because I was not willing to accept the status quo quo when the status quo was flat-out wrong. #momlifechats
