Lewis disclosed that a woman recently sent her hurtful messages assuming she must be on welfare and how she should be on birth control.
Lewis called out a double standard where large black and brown families as broken and unable to care for their kids while white large families are portrayed in a positive way.
Lewis uses her platform to uplift families and women of colour, and also the criticism as fuel to meet and exceed her personal and family goals.
