Ruby Taylor, M.S.W.

Growing up in the Bronx, New York, the Priceless Project and Grief Out founder, Ruby L. Taylor knows first-hand 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. Until one day Crystal Russell a neighborhood friend, invited her to a dinner at the Marriot Marquis with the Attorney General Janet Reno. “That night seating 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.” Ms. Taylor is a graduate of Howard University and Virginia Union University.
