While far removed from her classroom days, she feels her volunteer project to support battered women is an extension of her previous career as an educator. Lloyd hosts several workshops each month in which people make earrings that are donated to women’s shelters across the United States. For every pair that a person makes for themselves at Lloyd’s events, they also make a pair to send to a shelter. Lloyd’s workshops, called “Bling’s The Thing,” sends nearly 1,000 earrin…
