ENTERING YEAR 3
Build-Her.Org was founded on March 11, 2024, and Build-Her, Be Heard was published on August 19, 2024. Now, both are in their third year—and there is plenty to celebrate.
Since its release, the book has traveled to bookshelves, conferences, and group events across the United States, Canada, and Guam. What began as a journaling and reflection guide has become another way for women in construction and the skilled trades to reflect on their journeys, share their experiences, and make their voices heard.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this mission by sharing your stories, contributing to our research, and helping advance advocacy for women throughout construction and the skilled trades.
DO YOU HAVE CLARITY?
When I share my story and the stories of other women, we often talk about the moment they realized this could become a career, what excites them about the work, and what keeps them moving through the tough days.
Purpose helps us push forward. Clarity helps us understand where we are going.
Listen in to another snippet from my conversation with Amanda Severs as she shares why clarity is such an important step.
What has helped you find clarity in your career?

“If you’re interested in it, just do it.”

PURPOSE DRIVEN CAREERS
So many of us have found purpose, pride, and passion in our trades and construction careers.
Whether it’s working with our hands, troubleshooting, problem solving, or being part of building great things within a great team or community. Through many conversations with women in this industry I have seen that a lot of women, including myself, wish they knew about the opportunities earlier.
Keep following as Amanda and I share what a purpose driven career could look like and how talking it through with someone can truly give you some clarity on the direction you can take!
