Within the Black community, we have historically accepted the downtrodden and nurtured our own. Share your stories with your daughters and sons (dads too). Talk to them let them know you love them unconditionally. This does many things. First, it increases their self-worth and decreases the likelihood of unintentional pregnancy. This also increases the likelihood they will come to you if something happens. This also increases the likelihood they will not try to end an unintentional pregnancy on their own or through a backdoor illegal abortion, as did so many from my generation.
