Knowing Your Worth is Priceless & Walking in Purpose Puts Things in Perspective.
On an average low self-esteem is relatively high in childhood, drops during adolescence (particularly for girls), rises gradually throughout adulthood, and then declines sharply in old age. Young women in Birmingham, AL and around the U.S., especially women of color who live at or below the poverty line are more directly impacted. Woman of Worth, Inc. (WOW, INC.) is here to let you know, you are not alone. You have Worth, You have Value, You are Love, You are Strength, You are Enough, You have Purpose. You have everything you need on the inside of you to succeed.
YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Hidden Gems - Young Mothers Program
This program was designed to help young single mothers prepare for motherhood and build a better life for themselves and for their child(ren). By providing a safety net through mentoring and small groups, we work towards making sure the girls finish high school, develop healthy, holistic living practices and cultivate a sense of positive energy and self-worth that will guide them in becoming empowered, self-confident, self-sufficient, mothers, daughters, companions, and leaders in the community.
Some of the daily issues faced by young women include depression, bullying, early sexual activity, teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, self-hatred, lack of physical activity and academic problems. Depression is growing among adolescents at an alarming rate, especially in girls. 30 per cent of teens in the U.S. have been involved in bullying either as the victim or the bully, according to research conducted by Family First Aid.
Lack of confidence leads to weak goals, setting the bar too low, and poor decision making.
171,000 black and Hispanic children live in families where a parent has more than one job and works past 6pm or 7pm. Most of these families are headed by women. 123,993 women and children are currently receiving WIC (Women, Infants and Children supplemental nutrition program). The teen birth rate is 28 per 1,000 for ages 16 – 19. 9% of teens age 16 – 19 are not attending school and are not working. The state also has 18.5% of women living in poverty. African Americans make up 71.55% of the population in Birmingham, therefore, many of them are products of these statistics.

I’m really thankful to God that there are other women who truly strive to put God and Jesus first in their lives. I came to support Crystal Evans, but I’m truly glad I stayed for the entire event.
