My name is Autumn Williams I am 25 years old and the Founder and CEO of The Two Percent Project. I became a teen mother at the age of 17 a week before I was supposed to leave for college on a partial athletic scholarship. When I graduated college I came across the statistic that less than 2% of teen mothers would graduate college before the age of 30. This prompted me to create a pregnancy center that was specifically for teen parents ran by people they could relate to, The Two Percent Project. This allows us to be built on a “first hand experience” foundation.
