Hair She Goes! Priceless Project, Driven to Recognize, Celebrate and Empower 1,000,000 Priceless Female Spirits (13 to 20 years old)

Ruby Taylor, M.S.W. founder of the Priceless Project™, is committed to ensuring that 1,000,000 young women and girls (13 to 20 years old) know they are PRICELESS. The Priceless Project™ offers Community Outreach and an inspirational online community at the PricelessProject.com.

The website, http://PricelessProject.com, launches July 29th, 2011 as an online resource to recognize, celebrate and empower the female priceless spirit. The Priceless Project strongly believes in Community Outreach. We will do monthly Community Outreach in Lancaster City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York City and beyond.

The PRICELESS Project originated in 2007 when master’s level social worker Ruby L. Taylor began to internalize the pain and hurt her nieces and students faced because of family, social and educational circumstances. To support and encourage her nieces and students, she wrote a poem entitled “What Are You Worth?” Ruby used the poem for hurting teenagers in Lancaster City, Pennsylvania to help encourage each student to know he or she is PRICELESS. She took a special interest in young ladies and girls in 2011 when Rowena Dixon, a fellow co-worker, expressed a need to help young ladies understand their self-worth.

Growing up in the Bronx, New York, Ruby knows firsthand what happens when a young women does not feel worthy. As a result, she was on the verge of failing out of high school and living a life she did not desire. One day, Crystal Russell, a neighborhood friend, invited her to a dinner at the Marriot Marquis with the Attorney General Janet Reno. Ruby says, “That night, sitting with high-achieving students from various NYC public high schools exposed me to possibilities. I realized I was worthy of being invited to an event for honor students, even though I was not an honor student. I was worthy of graduating high school. I was worthy of attending college and going after my goals. The one night of possibility changed my life view forever. It took the life of pain and hurt and turned it into a life of healing, hope and joy. I realized I was priceless, no matter what.”

The Clippings: Forget Boehner and Obama, You Stop Spending: The Rich Got Richer and the Broke Are Black and Hispanic | Wealth Gap Report

PewResearch.org — The median wealth of white households is 20 times that of black households [stop spending] and 18 times that of Hispanic households [ya'll stop spending too], according to a Pew Research Center analysis of newly available government data from 2009.

These lopsided wealth ratios are the largest since the government began publishing such data a quarter century ago and roughly twice the size of the ratios that had prevailed between these three groups for the two decades prior to the Great Recession that ended in 2009.

The Pew Research Center analysis finds that, in percentage terms, the bursting of the housing market bubble in 2006 and the recession that followed from late 2007 to mid-2009 took a far greater toll on the wealth of minorities than whites.

DryerBuzz.com — I normally don’t like to compare races, but this report was a down right shocker even though based on 2009.  No wonder the Suze Orman show sounds so foreign.  I know Black Women are wasting at least $60 million dollars a week on ish that makes no sense, hence the reason we initiated BlackFridayGiving to get them to think about supporting orgs, charities, and education, but I had no idea how bad it was/is.  I can hardly keep typing.  You can’t dress this up with a red bottom.   Reports don’t lie.  Well some do.  But wt???

Boehner and Obama can’t work it out, but what is the conversation under your roof when it comes to your own debt ceiling?  This is serious. It’s past time to stuff the mattress.  Stop spending.  Start saving.  Start investing.  Support your local economy, but seriously stop spending.
