(USGovernment-News.Com, July 23, 2013 ) Detroit, MI – Women often complain that they do not understand how men think. This is an age-old frustration between the sexes, and Harlan “Jay” Bivens of the non-profit community activist group Better Detroit Youth Movement (BDYM) will be giving a talk at the 2nd Annual "Transition into your God Essence" Womens Empowerment Conference 2013 on August 3 at the Robets Riverwalk Hotel in Detroit.
Bivens explains, “It has been my experience that women hold a special place in shaping our world. I believe that learning about relationships from a male’s perspective gives women some much-needed insight.”
In addition to being the co-director of BDYM, Harlan Bivens also owns JaysFades.com (http://www.DetroitBarbershop.com), a Detroit barbershop near University of Detroit’s campus. Owning a successful Salon where "the talk" often happens, he looks forward to sharing insights into the way men think. He asks, “What better way to establish some dialogue around healthy working relationships (than sharing what he has learned from listening to men and women in the barber shop)?”
Bivens has done a lot of work surrounding domestic violence from the Documentary "Love is Not a Black Eye." His personal work involved assisting ladies as well as young women find shelters and mentors. He added, “When I was younger and seeing domestic violence first hand allowed me to understand some of the pain in unhealthy relationship.”
He continued, “Like most people on the planet we want joy all of the time and making others responsible for that joy. Many people will never explore the true love within mankind and our responsibility to have open hearts to connect with the planet and people.”
This event will be held on August 3 with registration beginning at 9 a.m. and the event beginning at 10 a.m. Harlan Bivens will be speaking at the conference at the Roberts Riverwalk Hotel, located at 1000 River Place Drive in Detroit.
A portion of the proceeds will go to S.A.F.E. (Sisters Acquiring Financial Empowerment), OPEN for business conference (October 2013), and Sara's House Community Baby Shower 2014.
Also, a portion of each ticket is donated to a woman in transition for her attendance, brunch, and transportation to this event.
Each ticket includes brunch, picture, gift bags, & massages.
