“One night, my best friend’s father said, ‘What you’re doing is horrible,’ and he embarrassed me in front of everyone. I’ll never forget that,” revealed Polanco. “But I was making the best decision that I could. I knew that having a baby was going to make my life harder, but I was also determined to turn every obstacle into a blessing.”
She also revealed that she wouldn’t tell others that she was a mom while she was in college.’
“I’d let them find out, and when they were like, ‘You’re a mom?!’ I pretended I didn’t care,” continued Dascha. “But it made me feel self-conscious and affected my confidence.”
Polanco also has a son, Aryam, who she had when she was 25.
