S5: E56 Push for What You Want

What this episode covers

When you were little, did you know what you wanted in a career? Did you know what degree you were going to pursue and what job you wanted to get into?  In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, we learn that Tonia Rivers knew exactly what she wanted in her career and started pursuing it in High School. Once she graduated High School, she was on a track in college to obtain her degree in Construction, which was the exact career industry she wanted to pursue.  Since only 10% of women make up the construction industry, there were some hard hills and valleys for Tonia to go through, but she prevailed and has made it her mission to help other working mothers to do the same.  Whether you are in the construction industry or not, Tonia Rivers shares three things working mothers can do to push for what they want out of their careers. She encourages working mothers to:  Be Dedicated  Have Confidence Be True to Yourself Tonia Rivers is a military wife, mother of 3, and Brooklyn native who has worked many years in the construction industry. She is the host of Mothers in Construction, where she encourages you to follow your dreams in construction by sharing stories of those who have done so.
