Nicole Lynn Lewis turned her story as a teen mom into an empowering message to other young parents and a call for more support for them. Her new book, Pregnant Girl, narrates her story of raising her daughter, going to college, and building a family. Her husband, Donté Lewis, was one of the many constants in her journey. They have been together since college, and he had a big role in raising his adopted daughter. While Pregnant Girl is a must-read, Nicole’s husband is equally deserving of the spotlight.

In a recent Instagram post, Nicole recalled that they met at a college party 20 years ago, where Donté asked for her number. Their relationship began from there.
