In this special episode, I got to talk with Jennifer Martinez; mother, daughter, friend and most importantly, my big sister. I was inspired to do a family episode after hearing former first lady Michelle Obama do an episode with her brother. In this episode, we dive into our upbringing, our move from Miami, FL to Paterson, NJ, and my sister's journey from being a teen mother and feeling like she grew up too fast due to the circumstances around our upbringing. This episode made me emotional and gave me a greater insight into my sister.
Guest Bio:
Jennifer Martinez wears many hats: mother, daughter, sister, friend, and manager. She has a 17-year old daughter who is at the center of her life and her driving motivation. Becoming a teen mom changed the trajectory of her life, having opted to drop out of school and receive her GED instead. Later she attended a vocational college for medical assisting, later working her way up to becoming an office manager for a medical company in Northern New Jersey.
