11. Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin is an incredible singer with an incredible voice that lead her to getting the nickname “the Queen of Soul”. Her talents thrust her into fame at a very young age and she was already going on tours at the age of 14 when she became pregnant. Two years later, she had her second child.

But contrary to norm, she didn’t let motherhood stop her from pursuing her dreams. At 20 years old, she was releasing songs that were hitting the top of every music chart in America, and as of now she has been awarded 18 Grammys. She’s the ultimate proof that being a teenage parent -or anything, really – isn’t an obstacle if you have the talent and put in the hard work!
