Listen "10: Balancing Babies and Books"
Episode Synopsis
In this deeply human and eye-opening episode, host Bulelani Marwanqana explores the untold reality of learners who are not just students—but single mothers.
From feeding bottles before sunrise to rushing into class before the bell rings, these young women are juggling parenthood and academic pressure—often with little support and a lot of judgment.
In this episode, Bulelani dives into:
The emotional and practical struggles of student-mothers
Why schools often fail these learners
How teachers, principals, and communities can provide real support
A message of encouragement and hope to every young mother still pursuing her dreams
Because being a teenage mom shouldn’t mean the end of education—it should mean the beginning of a different kind of resilience.
