When asked why it is so important for Tidewater Community College (TCC) to be hosting a Women’s Empowerment Conference for the community, Senior Master Thomas of Changing Lives ATA Martial Arts stated, “It's about Changing Lives in our community by educating and empowering the girls and young women. There are so many abductions, kidnapping, assaults, and victims of violent crimes that it's time we educate our community on safety awareness and managing these potential threats. From school grounds to college campus' we need to ensure their safety.
As Bill Gates once said, “The vision is really about empowering others, giving them all the information about what's going on so they can do a lot more than they've done in the past.”
