Bernie Black is the CEO of Brave Foundation, and the author of the book "Brave Little Bear: The inspirational Story of a Teenage Mother”.  

Bernie’s story is not uncommon, but it’s something we don’t really speak about still.  

Teenage pregnancy.  

I know that Bernie’s story will resonate with many people listening, and I am sure it might even be confronting to some people listening.  

Bernie has not only built an incredible life for her son, and now larger family - she’s risen to create an incredible career for herself as the CEO of Brave Foundation - and you’ll hear how she’s making a massive difference not only with stigma reduction and support for teenage parents, but on a broad policy level here in Australia.  

You might not be trying to tackle a powerful social issue like teenage pregnancy, you might just be trying to tackle getting your kids to ease up on screen time and engage more in real time - it doesn’t matter, Bernie’s story will leave you inspired about what is possible no matter what circumstances face you. And that with support and a solid reframe, many situations can turn out way better than you thought in the first place.
