LyTisa Greene was just 14 years old when her life changed forever. While her peers were trying to navigate the rigors of ninth grade algebra, LyTisa, also known as Lady, was trying to solve a different problem—she was going to be a mother. Instead of allowing teenage motherhood to define her, Lady used it to ignite her passion for improving maternal health in underserved communities.
