 Tara Thomas - Faith and Four Letter Words By J.O. Parker Tara Thomas and Amanda Goodman are bringing their speaking series, “Faith and Four Letter Words,” to the Malcom American Legion Hall on Wednesday, April 16. Through humor and raw honesty, Thomas and Goodman want to empower other women to find their voice and never apologize for using it. The event is being hosted by Katy Calkins of Brooklyn. This is a ticketed event. All attendees need to purchase a ticket to attend. Tickets are $35 each and can be purchased at https://www.eventbrite.com/.../faith-four-letter-words... Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. to shop from local, women-owned businesses. Cash bar will be available and a loose meat sandwich meal with sides will be available to purchase for supper. The meal benefits the Malcom American Legion. Tara and Amanda will take the stage promptly at 6 p.m. and will wrap up at 8 p.m. The duo of Thomas and Goodman have what they call a “unicorn friendship.” One's departure from the boys' club was led by faith, the other was led by four-letter words. Thomas is the communications director for Waterloo Pubic Schools. For nearly 20 years prior, she was a television news anchor and reporter for KWWL in Waterloo and stations in Yakima, Wash., and Mason City. Her baby steps blog chronicling her family’s ups and downs became a popular way for eastern Iowa viewers to connect with her. Goodman is the executive director of Family & Children’s Council, an agency devoted to preventing child abuse. Because of her outspoken determination to keep every child safe, she was recently named Child Advocate of the Year. Goodman is an Emmy Award winning journalist who worked in television news for nearly two decades in four different states. She started writing a popular blog that pulls the rug out on community issues, motherhood, and being a woman constantly under the microscope.  Amanda Goodman - Faith and Four Letter Words
