Laura Frombach and Joy Farrow, co-authors of Street Smart Safety for Women, offer tips on defensive living that will increase readers’ reliance on the one thing that can protect them most: their safety intuition.
Frombach was introduced to technology in the U.S. Army working on Pershing nuclear missiles. She spent much of her career as a technologist and engineer with IBM, HP, FedEx, Coca Cola Enterprises, Lenovo, and others. A turning point in her life was the “aha” moment when she correlated her mother’s mental illness to domestic violence. She now advocates for local domestic violence shelters.
Farrow is a retired Deputy Sheriff with 28 years of experience. She worked road patrol in Pompano Beach, FL, and faced every situation imaginable. After the 9/11 tragedy, Farrow transferred to the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport with the Broward Sheriff’s Office to focus on the safety of air travelers. In 2017, she assisted with the aftermath of the mass shooting at the airport. She has received numerous letters of commendations and several lifesaving awards.
Both Frombach and Farrow were speakers at the TEDx Eustis conference and lecture on women’s safety.
