Am still in awe! Parents, what are we doing about teenage pregnancies? – Kate actress agonizes

It has become worrying to constantly witness teenage pregnancies despite the age and time we live in.

Beautiful souls like Kate Actress among other women have stood up and said enough is enough when it comes to teenage pregnancies.

They have been through this and do not wish to see another girl fall in the same trap like they did, when they still have a chance to mentor them.

The TV actress is on a mission to ensure this message gets to the roots and involves the young teenagers who lie vulnerable in the society of today.

She had a mentorship program go down at Ziwani ward but the conversations she had with the young girls, shocked her the more.

The heavily expectant mother was taken aback by the kind of questions the girls shot in their direction.

I was shocked to learn that most of these young girls don’t have much information, we assume they get it from their teachers at school , their peers , or the media . I had some amazing women share their young motherhood struggles with them and I could see their willingness to capture every little piece of advice.

And her comment to parents is:

Parents we need to have open conversations with our girls at home , They asked some really hard questions. Am still in awe! Are we talking more and doing less ?
