Dec. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Lauren P. Raysor, Esq. has been named Keynote Speaker for “Celebrating Kwanzaa & Valuing our Health,” which will take place Monday, December 27 at Yonkers YMCA, 17 Riverdale Avenue, Yonkers. The event is presented by Sister to Sister International, Inc. (STSI) and the Yonkers Family YMCA, in collaboration with various community partners.

Ms. Raysor is the author of “Living The Wealthy Life.” In her book, Ms. Raysor says that every person has the ability to transform their current situation into something truly magnificent, regardless of their social or economic background. The transformation starts from within as people learn to take responsibility for their own actions rather than blame others. As an example, Ms. Raysor describes how she rose from poverty to become Assistant Attorney General for the State of New York, Deputy Chief and later Senior Trial Counsel for New York City and before starting her own practice.

“Living The Wealthy Life” is an up-close and personal examination of what it takes to make your life great. Ms. Raysor lists and explains the “18 Principles of Wealthy Living” and reveals what those decisions are, what you need to know when you’re making them and how to capitalize on each success to propel yourself closer to greatness.

Those in attendance will learn about Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), the second of seven principles of Kwanzaa. People will learn to take charge of their health and lead their communities today to a healthier tomorrow. “Celebrating Kwanzaa & Valuing our Health” will feature a community libation statement and candle lighting ceremony, African dancers, spoken word performers, vendors, health literacy information, tours of the facility, healthy refreshments and more.
