Stormi is Causing a Storm

By Isabel Ely

Kylie Jenner’s life has been open to the public since day one. The Kardashians/Jenner’s have a reality TV Show, various social media platforms, and are watched by the public 24/7. They are sometimes generalized around being “fake.” Now that could be their bodies, the way they promote themselves, or their personality. But, Kylie Jenner did the most real thing a woman can do: Give birth to a baby. Kim and Kourtney both have children, but what Kylie did made her pregnancy stand out. Instead of putting everything out in the limelight, she kept it personal. She wanted this experience to be hers, and to go through it only with her family and friends. Now you can say the Kardashians are fake, and I might agree, but I think this is the most real thing any of them have done. Kylie may have acted immature before, but this was a big growing step for her and choosing to do it this way proved to many people that she does have what it takes to be a mom. Travis Scott, the father of her baby, was alongside her the entire time as well. He didn’t abandon her like the stereotypes suggested, but he introduced his family to her and gave her the support she needed. In the video Kylie posted on YouTube, her friends say Kylie always said “I was born to be a mother.” By making this matter as personal as she did, Kylie shows that she did take this seriously and was ready for everything this journey had to offer. Although the pregnancy was a milestone in itself, there is a whole world out there that she will now get to experience with a baby. One day her baby girl, Stormi, will watch the video she made for her and will know that her mom didn’t want to take on this world with anyone other than her.
