Lone Star College Cy-Fair started the year on a positive note as two students and business owners earned the college's first Student Entrepreneurship Awards. Winners Toni Scott Grant and runner-up Heather Diaz have displayed a passion for their businesses and confidence in the enhancement their education will offer their paths in the future.

Grant owns Scott Phree Boutique, a youth-driven business that carries clothing and accessories marketed for ages 18 to 45. The business reflects today’s online-oriented market, as she started it completely online and now has a storefront boutique in Montrose. The ambitious owner has plans for additional locations in the future, including in Brooklyn.

On September 16th, LIFE Workshops, an hour-long class provided by Lone Star College every Wednesday will be featuring the subject of the musical, "Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats." This musical play will be shown at Cy-Fair College from Ocober 8th through the 18th. About the show:

CROWNS, a stand-up-and-testify musical based on the book by Michael Cunningham and Craig Marberry, focuses on Yolanda, a young Brooklyn girl who is sent down South to stay with her grandmother. As Yolanda encounters her grandmother and her grandmother's friends in the rituals of preparing for and going to Sunday church service, she begins to discover connections to older traditions and a deeper spirituality. CROWNS is a soul-stirring tribute to the unique cultural phenomenon that fuses faith with fashion by celebrating African-American women and their church hats. 

Look for the Fairfield ad in the CROWNS program! 

LIFE Workshops take place Wednesdays 10 - 11 a.m.
