Woman Warrior Tribe TalksWoman Warrior Tribe Talks | Episode 2: Lessons I Learned Being Pregnant and AloneI never imagined that I'd become a mother in 2021 - 2022. I thought my plans were set in stone- that I'd deploy, EAS from the USMC and continue on with my life with my boyfriend. But things changed when I found out I was pregnant.
