Ruby Taylor, M.S.W. sees a future populated with teenagers who are doing great things. As a social worker in inner city schools, Taylor is concerned that the lack of confidence and self-esteem of teenage girls will keep them from reaching their greatness. It was that concern that became the basis for her new project, “The 250,000 Wall of Empowerment for Urban Teenage Girls.”

The 250,000 Wall of Empowerment will help get “Confidence to Greatness for Teenage Girls” book, along with one I AM PRICELESS bracelet into the hands of urban teenage girls, for free.

The 250,000 Wall of Empowerment for Teenage Girls will list the names of teenage girls on the virtual wall and match them with PRICELESS sponsors. PRICELESS sponsors will pay $20.00 to sponsor one teenage girl or $100.00 to sponsor 5 teenage girls. the Wall will launch August 1st, 2012.

“Confidence to Greatness for Teenage Girls” book contains real-life stories written by 12 women from across the United States, including Taylor and others, who tell stories of their struggles in their teen and young adult years. Some of the women are professionals who work to empower women through change and growth, and others are everyday people who have a story to tell. To offer a male viewpoint, one man also takes part in the book.

The book also includes a self-worth quiz, poems, and action steps that involve healing, trust, values, failure, volunteering, and more. Ruby’s goal is to instill confidence in urban and African American teenage girls so that the choices they make are touchstones to success, not hinges on traps they may find themselves caught in for life.

Her vision is simple and ambitious: help 250,000 urban and African American teenage girls develop and/or increase their self-confidence, one book and one bracelet at a time.

Ruby Taylor is not alone, on her mission to help teenage girls to find their path to personal greatness many are signing up to help her project such as, Queenly and Confident Blog, Andrew Davis, founder of Clipper Beast Barbershop in New Orleans, Tonjolia of Every Girl is A Princess, Cindy Brown of Girls Swagger, Natalie Meade, Director of Programs for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake and many more to come.

“Empowering teenage girls to know they are worthy of love, happiness, success, peace, and respect is the greatest gift we can give.” Ruby Taylor, M.S.W.

“The 250,000 Wall of Empowerment for Urban & African American Teenage Girls is a movement to empower teenage girls to increase their confidence and self-worth so they can make better choices, which will lead them to their personal greatness,” says Taylor.

    Dear Brother and sister
     
     
     
    We greet you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
     
     
     
    Shalom Integrated Community Development Organization is a Christian organization dedicated to the holistic service of extremely poor peasant communities located in the Oromia Regional State, in the North Shewa zone, in the Wichalie District in the particular communities of Ayat-Arasho and Yifechu-Kolla.
     
     
     
    The main objective in establishing this organization is to help meet the basic necessities of life of the afore-mentioned peasant communities namely, their economic, social, physical and spiritual needs. 
     
     
     
    In a relatively short period of time we have built a primary school and developed a clean water supply system and handed them over to the community residents and the district education bureau.  Thus, we have been able to proclaim the Gospel openly and freely.  We have therefore come to realize that our small effort has been amply rewarded for the beneficiaries have been greatly blessed with the astonishing accomplishments.  We strongly feel that, at this particular juncture, we should express our gratitude to Christian friends who started us off with these two projects. 
     
     
     
    Encouraged with the results we have witnessed thus far, we are all the more determined to forge ahead with the holistic ministry in the Wichalie district.  The need is absolutely staggering, and the zeal to tackle the problem is equally enormous, but with your whole-hearted support, we certainly will find solutions to some of the problems.  As Lord Chesterton once said, “But for the grace of God, there go I.”  So, let us work together to allow God to transform the lives of these destitute peasants in the Wichalie district to become useful and productive members of their society. 
     
     
     
    We trust that you will give us your favorable response very soon. 
     
     
     
    For the cause of Christ and His Kingdom,
