My name is Gina Wright Taylor. I am thirty-two years old, was born in Gary, Indiana, and the oldest of five children. We moved to Port Arthur, Texas in 1996 and have now resided in Beaumont, Texas for the last ten years. I am married to the best man in the world, Jarvis Taylor and have been accomplished licensed cosmetologist for 11+ years, the co-owner of De’ Luxe Cheveux Salon, and owner of Isle-9 Shoetique. I am a woman of action with tangible results other than promises and words. Regardless of the task, I am dedicated to ensuring excellent results. I have given back to my community for over thirteen years, leading, hosting, and assisting in non-profit events. I am a woman of ambition and a heart full of love, devoting my time to helping better my community, family, and friends and, a Christian who loves God with all my heart. I am a volunteer with CASA of Southeast Texas, a member of the Junior League of Beaumont, Top Ladies of Distinction, a mentor, a licensed and ordained Prophetess, and an award-winning hairstylist from all over the world. I am currently a senior at Lamar University with the ambition to attend Law School, aspiring to be a defense attorney. I decided to become a CASA volunteer because there are children who need an advocate and mentor. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child. Not only do I want to be an advocate for the children, but I also want to help strengthen the parent back to becoming their best at being a parent. I know what it is like to struggle, and I know what it is like to be without, so I wanted to volunteer because I know I can help fill the void.
