Finding Her Path in a Man’s World
Lakewood Theatre Company presents ‘Parnassus on Wheels,’ the story of a
strong, smart woman trying to find her path and create a worthy destiny for
herself in a man’s world – a world where women don’t yet have the right to
vote. It is also the story of first love arriving surprisingly in middle age, and
a celebration of books and how they can enrich your life. Performances run
through Feb. 11.
Black History and Mental Health
A Black History lecture series will be held
during February sponsored by an organization
dedicated to improving mental health outcomes in
the African American population with culturally
specific counseling and therapy.
Heru-Ka Anu, a cultural therapist, community
leader, educator and activist, will present topics
celebrating black awareness, power and strength
with a focus on building unity and power with Af-
rican Americans and transforming conditions from
one of oppression and dependency to that of power
and capacity.
The events will be held at the offices of Shell-
mire Unlimited at 3311 N.E. Martin Luther King
Jr. Blvd., suite 104, starting at 1:30 p.m. on four
consecutive Saturdays, beginning Feb. 3. A Black
