I did not set out to write books or build businesses or help people figure out their next move. What I did was show up for a 14 year old girl who everybody else had written off.<\/p>\n<p>I was working for the Department of Human Services when I got assigned to a case that changed my entire life. A teenage girl. Fourteen years old. Kept running away from home. Her parents were exhausted and ready to give up on her completely.On paper she looked like a problem. When I sat down with her I saw something completely different. I saw a young person who needed someone to actually see her.<\/p>\n<p>I worked with her and her family and something shifted.Not just for her. For me. Because in that moment I realized this was what I was made to do. Not just manage cases. Not just file reports. Actually reach people. Actually change the direction of someone&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_body_font||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#444444&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>That experience led me to found Teen Mothers Second Chance, a non-profit I created to give young mothers a second chance at the life they felt they had given up on the moment they bacame a parent. And from there everything else followed.<\/p>\n<p>Over 15 years of working in behavioral health, child welfare, case management, and agency leadership. A CARF-accredited counseling agency I built from the ground up. A dual certification as a Life Coach and Youth and Family Coach. A published book. Seven personal development journals. And a mission that has never changed since that day I sat across from a teenager who just needed someone to believe in her.<\/p>\n<p>I am Ms. LaQuita S. Lewis. I am a mother of three, Jordon, Shemar, and Princess, and a devoted homeschooling mom who knows firsthand what it means to juggle everything while still trying to build something that matters.
