Absolutely! Here’s the funding breakdown included with all five donation levels, seamlessly woven into your Day 2 blog post:
DAY 2 of The HBCU Wealth Journey: A Campaign to Build Generational Wealth, One Student and Alum at a Time
Today started with my heart fully focused on the campaign—but, like life does, I was pulled in many directions.
So, I made a decision: one thing at a time.
I got my daughter ready for school, got myself prepped for a speaking engagement, and started my morning with what grounds me most—a devotional and giving thanks to God. There is truly no better way for me to begin a day.
I didn’t get to do everything I wanted to do for the campaign—but guess what? That’s okay. I gave what I could, and that matters.
I drove from Baltimore to DC to speak at the WILD NETWORKING Conference, and it reminded me just how much I love public speaking. I light up on that stage. I had planned to mention the campaign, but the moment didn’t feel right. And then I had to skip networking to make it back in time to pick up my daughter and head to the PAVA Center for the final session of the Johns Hopkins Social Innovation Lab.
Tonight, we practiced our pitches for next Thursday’s pitch competition. It was amazing… and bittersweet. The final class before the big day.
Now I’m back to the campaign—back to the movement.
We’ve raised $500 in just two days, with 6 amazing donors. That means we’ve already funded nearly 18 Generational Wealth Kits (each kit costs $30). That’s a beautiful start.
But we still have a long journey ahead:
To reach our goal of 50,000 kits, we need to raise $1.5 million.
Here’s how that breaks down depending on your giving level:
- $50 per person = 30,000 donors needed
- $100 per person = 15,000 donors needed
- $250 per person = 6,000 donors needed
- $500 per person = 3,000 donors needed
- $1,000 per person = 1,500 donors needed
No matter what level you give, you matter.
Each gift brings us one step closer to making generational wealth real and reachable for HBCU students and alumni.
Writing this blog post is part of my campaign work, too. So I’m giving myself grace and saying:
Good job, Ruby. You showed up. You’re doing it.
Thank you to every person who believes in this mission. Let’s keep going—because we’re building a movement one joyful act at a time.
With love and purpose,
