Show notes

On this episode of “The Kylee Cast,” Melissa Souza and her 20-year-old daughter, Nevaeh, join Federalist Managing Editor Kylee Griswold to tell the story of Melissa’s unplanned pregnancy. As a pro-life Christian, Melissa was terrified to tell her conservative family about her out-of-wedlock pregnancy and understood for the first time why some women consider abortion. She even contemplated one herself. But 20 years and 5 kids later, she’s here to share why she’s so glad she chose life — and says her own life started the day she gave birth to Nevaeh. Plus, this mother-daughter duo talk about their forthcoming children’s book, “Tiny Human” — and why finding an artist willing to illustrate a pro-life book has been an uphill climb.
If you or someone you know seems like the right fit to illustrate “Tiny Human,” please contact Brave Books at Info@Brave.us.
