Variety of
‘Women’s Month’ events scheduled for March at
LSC-CyFair
Lone Star College-CyFair is
“Empowering Women to be All We Can Be” with a variety of
events throughout March in celebration of annual Women’s Month.
Among the highlights of the month
are two community evening presentations featuring Robert Martin, an
expert on the prediction and management of violence; and best-selling
author Patricia Evans.
On March 1, Martin will host
“Keeping Women Safe: Guidelines for Protecting Ourselves from
Danger.”
Relevant for women and men who want
to help empower the women in their life, Martin’s presentation
will cover how women can protect themselves, from trusting their
instincts to using fear, an emotion that can be her greatest ally or
work against her.
He will also address the issue of
violence against women from strangers as well as signs of potential
violence in romantic relationships.
On March 7, Evans will present
the program, “The Verbally Abusive Relationship.”
Since verbal abuse often precedes domestic violence, Evans will share
how to protect oneself from senseless accusations, wounding words and
confusing comments.
In her presentation, attendees
will learn to recognize, respond to and heal from verbal abuse as well
as signs to watch for in new relationships, what’s
“wrong” with those who indulge in verbal abuse and what it
takes for an abuser to change.
Other events feature speaker
Dr. Rebecca Sharpless with the Feb. 29 program, “Neither
Aunt Jemima nor The Help: African American Cooks and Stereotype;”
a “Generational Recipes” potluck March 1; and a
self-defense crash course with Robert Webre March 5 and March 6.
Still other programs feature Dr.
Kerry Kirkman, who will present “HPV and Your Health,”
