Chicago resident Ms. Pearl Willis made the selfless decision to babysit her daughter's friend's child while the mother pursued her academic career. Through word of mouth, more mothers heard about Ms. Pearl and asked her to look after their children so they too could return to school. Soon enough, Ms. Pearl was looking after fifty children, so she knew she had to expand in order to help more mothers. With the help of her community, she bought a facility and launched Roseland Community "Good News" Day Care Center, a free babysitting service for teenage moms, college moms, and low-income moms. Kelly speaks with two mothers who were able to pursue their dreams because of Ms. Pearl's kindness. Kelly's friends at Comcast Xfinity also give Ms. Pearl the ultimate gift to help her achieve her goal of creating a coffee shop with a computer lab for kids and their mothers.

Love this so much, she’s such an angel. When I was in grad school, we were broke and had a surprise baby. We couldn’t afford daycare and a wonderful lady watched her for basically free (we paid her all we could which was like $100 every few weeks).

Wow that’s amazing, I definitely wish I would have had this when I was going to college. Heck I wish I had it now that I’m going for my bachelors and have another kid on the way. What an amazing women.

I used to volunteer at this daycare with my youth group when I was younger and have had the pleasure of knowing this woman personally. Ms. Pearl is THE REAL DEAL and deserves this recognition and more! This episode doesn't even begin to touch the surface of the impact she had had on her community and so many others. She is a true blessing!!

I literally wouldn't be able to work and go to school without my grandparents helping me with my son. It's truly life changing, for those who don't have family to help. I truly don't know what I would do, she is absolutely incredible!!

It’s amazing what you do mam. Sorry I couldn’t watch the whole video but it’s a pet peeve of mine when people constantly say umm in a conversation. You had everyone beat and could possibly have broken a world record for the amount of umms in one conversation.

Hi Kelly. That girl her daughter brought home from school one day with and child on the way was me. I was 14yrs old and had a child on the way and didn't know how I was going be able to finish school. I gave birth my sophomore year in high school. I would NEVER have been able to graduate without her in my life. Not only did she keep my daughter so I could finish school I was also able to participate in after-school activities as well. She provided formula, food, diapers, and clothing. She had doctors come to the daycare and make sure our children were healthy and vaccinated. She mentored us, she prayed with us, she had Bible study with us, she took the moms on outings, she took our child on fields trips and never asked the moms for money. Every holiday we had dinners together that she cooked and provided for us. Toys for our children and back to school supplies were provided to us. I had 4 children and each one of them were taught through her daycare from 6weeks old until they were kindergarten ready. She has been at the hospital with me for every child I birthed, held my hand through the rough parts of my life and continuously encourages me and so many others.. This woman is amazing. Every since the day her daughter took me home she has been in my life. I call her mom and my children call her Gramma Pearl. I don't know where I would be today if she had turned me around and said no. I thank you Kelly for giving her this light to shine its definitely well deserved. Thank you and thank everyone for your contributions she really is a genuine Pearl.❤

I don't w watch cable at all, but I do watch Kelly's show! I love Kelly already, I've loved Kelly ever since I was a youngin' and I saw this beautiful, gorgeous, talented, courageous woman succeeding even tho she was chubby like me! I have real life problems, I don't have the time or energy to care and worry about what Kim Kardashian or whatever other trashy celebrity is doing. I love the regular people she highlights! I actually believe that Kelly is a great role model and I trust in her, I honestly believe that the Kelly we see on TV is the same Kelly that you would get in real life. She is so genuine and humble. I literally love Kelly Clarkson so damn much.

Black women are so neglected by our society and the system it runs on. This is beautiful 😍. Black women lifting up black women is so powerful, but it doesn't have to be exclusive women should lift up black women and really we should all lift each other up, but some of us were born above others so until we're all on the same level let's focus on black women.

Huh? We’re neglected? We aren’t toddlers. We need to take care of ourselves.
