Blue is the New White #102 - Roundtable on inclusiveness and diversity in the trades

Stepping out of my realm a little bit this week. We have a roundtable of brilliant minds on today's show talking on a topic that few want to touch on: inclusiveness and diversity in the trades. My standpoint is very simple: Can you do the job? Why does it have to be more complicated than that? So without further ado here is: Miriam Jordi – A driven advocate who is in quality control. Previously a sheet metal installer & welder. Lisa Langevin – An openly lesbian woman who has helped revolutionize career pathways for women in construction through grassroots initiatives. Jessica Loney – An openly transgender woman and Master Electrician helping Miriam drive the Pride in Construction movement. And Diana Palmerin – A diversity consultant that fell into the world of the skilled trades and is helping to bridge the gap and break down the barriers that exist today. Don't miss this interesting conversation and opportunity to learn a little about a topic that needs more attention.
