Summary: <p><img class="size-medium wp-image-458 alignleft" src="http://momlife.ljpres.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Luma-2-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300"></p> <p>Hi everyone!  Welcome to episode 86 of the #Momlife Podcast!  This summer in our Summer Rewind, we are revisiting great stories from this show, in what we are calling The Summer of Storytelling.  I think we women need to know each other’s stories and share our own stories with others.  When we do that, we learn about the grace and goodness of the Lord and are able to extend grace and goodness towards others.  On this episode, Luma Haddad shares her story of her work with urban at risk teen moms.  Be inspired and encouraged by the work she is doing and consider asking God, how can I positively impact injustices in my own community?</p> <p>Luma Haddad has been the Young Life Urban Area Director for the last 19 years and is Mutli Ethnic Southwest Divisional Coordinator. Luma works directly with teenagers and teen moms in Junior High and High Schools. She is a San Francisco native, lived in Amman, Jordan, graduated from PLNU in San Diego in Broadcast Journalism, and is married with two kids.</p> <p>Young Life San Diego South Bay   <a href="https://younglife.org">https://younglife.org</a></p> <p>Join us each Friday as we post a new #Momlife podcast.
