(Tuesday, November 13, 2012) – When Feona Sharhran Huff was a journalism student at Norfolk State University, it was very clear to her department heads, professors, the campus’s newspaper editorial team and fellow Spartans that she not only has a mighty gift of empowering people through her locally and nationally published articles but by speaking from the heart at various university events and around the Hampton Roads area. Many of the people she personally touched through her encouraging words were single parents. After graduating cum laude with a B.A. in journalism in June 1997, Feona would go on to continue her work and passion for inspiring others, particularly moms raising their children alone, by conducting workshops and publishing Solo Mommy Magazine (www.livingthesolomommylife.com). And, this Saturday, November 17, 2012, she will return to her collegiate home to bring sound advice, savvy solutions, help and hope to fellow single parents at the NSU WoMEN’s Economic Development Center’s Annual Family Enrichment Conference. She will sit on a panel specifically speaking to the needs of single parents. This conference’s theme this year is "The Family Reunion: Reconnecting Vision, Values and Victory". It will take place from 8:30 am to 1 pm inside of G. W. C Brown Memorial Hall. “It is a real honor and a blessing to be able to pour positive messages into my parenting group,” says Feona, who is the single mom of talented tweens Clara Huff and Timothy Isaac Huff. ”When I was asked to be a part of the single parent panel and overall conference, my heart said YES then my mouth followed with a confirmation. This is what my life’s calling and passion is all about: Giving, serving, leading, restoring and empowering.” Feona moved back to Virginia a year ago after having called New York City her home for 14 years. She has been conducting workshops ever since she unpacked her luggage. Some of her workshops include: “I’m Writing My Vision and I’m Making It Plain (goal setting/vision board), “Find YOUR Voice” (discovering passion) and “Be There” (parent involvement). Currently, Feona serves as Media Director of the natural hair care documentary “Ms. Nappy Comb: Her Hair Her Journey”. She is the communications and marketing liason for She’Matters G.I.R.L.S. LLC and an advisory board member of the national women’s business organization Real Sister’s Rising. Additionally, she is proud member of the Hampton Roads Black Media Professionals and the spokesman for a single mom book project slated for 2013 release. Feona encourages all parents to come out and not only hear her presentation but enjoy the other festivities that the day will offer.
