Today I’ve been playing around with some audio I recorded last week during Thursday’s Young Mom’s group. We decided a couple of weeks ago to start talking more about teen pregnancy as an “issue.” Before this we had mainly talked about the experience of being a young mom or pregnant teenager.

I audio recorded the girls talking about whether teenage pregnancy is a problem, why it is a problem, and how to combat this issue. I like how in the end of the recording they are giving me suggestions on how to make my project better. It has been such a struggle to get the girls to see my vision, and now I love that they are sharing their own vision of this project with me.
