In May 2009, at age 18, Palin began working with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, to inform young people about the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy.
Also in May 2009, Palin was named a Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ambassador for the Candie’s Foundation, a teen pregnancy prevention organization that is a division of the Candie’s clothing brand. Her duties as a paid spokeswoman involved attending town hall meetings, public service announcements, and giving interviews on morning talk shows.
In May 2010 it was reported that Palin had signed with the company Single Source Speakers, asking between $15,000 and $30,000 for each appearance. She was listed on the company’s website as available for conferences, fundraisers, special events and holidays, as well as women’s, youth, abstinence, and pro-life programs.
Palin was a competitor on the fall 2010 season of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS). Palin’s success on the show attracted other negative attention, including death threats against her. In one instance, suspicious white powder was received by the show.
Palin’s docu-series Life’s A Tripp, produced by Associated Television International, premiered on June 19, 2012, in the United States, on Lifetime TV. Lifetime ordered 14 episodes for original broadcast. The series followed Palin as she moved to Los Angeles, then back to Alaska, with two episodes set in Arizona (where her sister Willow was attending beauty school) and one episode in Washington, D.C.
Palin competed on the all-star season 15 of DWTS, which began in late September 2012.
In June 2011, Palin’s memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, co-authored by Nancy French, was released. It was a New York Times bestseller.
Well those types of things are what Hollywood type people do do. Ansell. They involve themselves in whatever area they can relate to and by doing so retain their public persona in the eyes of their fans. Books , Tv, Appearances etc. just go with the territory.
Bristol is NOT Sarah Palin nor will she ever be IMO. Until she matures and seeks something more meaningful that uses her own talents rather than ride on the coat tail of her mom.....I have not seen that yet and hope she will find her place that’s meaningful and uses HER talents. Meanwhile she is making money which is what she wants currently.
I am aware of these things that she has done, which are a bit different from accomplishments.
Reality tv appearances are not accomplishments.
Sounds like she’s doing fine financially. Good for her.
