Jackson Katz Event We are dedicated to bringing you the finest events in the area - The Jackson Katz event was no exception! Mr. Katz is a national speaker and author of the book "The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help."  Jackson Katz (second from left) gave an exceptional presentation on Gender Violence; Violence Prevention; to a packed house at Gulf Coast Community Care.
