Street Smarts and Safety Tactics with Dannah Eve
Virtual event presented with Library Speakers Consortium
Thursday, August 13
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Join us for a virtual conversation with bestselling author and safety expert Dannah Eve about her book "Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn't."
Join us virtually to learn how to stay sharp, stay ready, and stay safe in every aspect of your daily life with Dannah Eve’s book Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn’t. In an unpredictable and often frightening world, Dannah Eve shows you how to weaponize your intuition and back it up with real-world safety tactics that actually work. Because when you build confidence, you operate with authority, and that ripple effect can protect more than just you.
Dannah Eve has always been street smart, and for the past several years, she has been sharing her advice, self-defense strategies, and safety tips with millions of engaged social media followers. With the encouraging tone of a savvy older sister, she has built a platform that teaches women how to think like a threat by mastering situational awareness, calculated deception, and the art of always being ready.
These are just a few of the rules she lives by:
Lie to survive: You don’t owe a stranger your truth. Especially if it compromises your safety.
On a date: Don’t rush to share your personal details! A Tinder match is not yet a trusted person.
Living alone: Keep a pair of men’s shoes by the door; you’ll be a less-obvious target.
On vacation: Walk with confidence and a strong stride; a distracted person is an easy target.
At school: Research and use the available campus shuttles and safety services.
Online: Phishing emails, fake texts, scare tactics - don’t bite, don’t click. If it’s “urgent” or too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.
