Thank you to for selecting me to be amongst the Top 100 women in Construction 2026 š©¶
The stories we hold as women are heard to hear and some have left battle scars, but through inner strength, we have managed to stay resilient and get back up for another day.
I used to talk about my experience openly to anyone that would listen, but it made me feel stuck. Served no purpose.
Over the years, I have learnt to keep moving forward.
If there was a place, I wasnāt āsafeā, I would leave.
If companies disrespected me or other women, I would leave. Eventually I decided (20 years ago), I would work for myself and choose where I would stay and for how long.
Amongst the evil, there are many men that support women in construction, and we see them and their actions. They stand up for us, they literally stand in front of us and shield us, even though Iāve learnt to do it myself over the years.
And then there are the woman that understand without any words exchanged. We know what itās like.
If I could share my stories one day, I will do it from a place of empowerment. Might do that podcast, Iāve been meaning to do.
A special Thank You to TAMIKA SMITH for being an amazing supporter and advocate for Women in Construction across the world š©¶š©¶
