Model Jourdan Dunn was recently featured on Teen Vogue with fellow colleague Chanel Iman. What you couldn’t see is that 19-year-old Jourdan is pregnant and due in December of this year. Why the uproar? I have no idea. I watched as Jamie Lynn Spears sold her pregnancy story to every magazine that would buy an interview off of her. I also watched the entire 1st and 2nd season of “Secret Life of an American Teenager” and MTV’s “16 and Pregnant” which both seemed to normalize teen pregnancies. So what is the big deal here? She is a teen, but she is also over the age of 18 and she makes her own money. Why can’t she keep her child?

You all know what I am going to say. Double standard. It is because she is black? Is is because she is so young? I don’t know anymore why people feel the need to knock her down. In my opinion, I applaud you Jourdan for keeping your child and being strong about this whole thing. From me to you – CONGRATS!
