St. Francis to host acclaimed author and poet
Brooklyn BookBeat: Programs Highlight Women Entrepreneurs and Poets
Emphasizing the importance of women entrepreneurs, the St. Francis College Center for Entrepreneurship and the Women’s Studies Program are coming together to bring a series of successful women to campus to teach others about overcoming obstacles and building a solid business.
The first speaker will be author Tina Panariello, author of “Polished: Filing Away at Life’s Truths.” Panariello is a nail artist, shop owner and motivational speaker. She will speak at St. Francis College’s Founders Hall (180 Remsen St.) on March 3 at 12:20 p.m.
“Statistics show there are more women entrepreneurs than men in the marketplace,” said Athena Devlin, Co-Director of the Women’s Studies Program. “It’s important to create and support programs like this to emphasize how vital economic independence is to women.”
The talk is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by the SFC Department of Athletics.
