WOW

This show has given me so much inspiration and appreciation. I have been with the millwrights for nine years now. I have started a Facebook group in my home state for Tradeswomen and got such little responses I thought I was going it alone. I love hearing from women that have overcame this and keep pushing forward. Thank you so much!!!

Their stories are inspiring and encouraging! This is such a great platform to help and encourage sisters to take the first step into becoming a tradeswomen.
