Habitat for Humanity: A welcoming experience

We have all heard of, and some of us have personally experienced, sexism and sexists on construction/demolition sites.  I participated in the Habitat for Humanity project at Musician’s Village with four other women. My experience was NOT your stereotypic work environment. It did not take long for us to feel that we were important members of Brian’s team. Our skills, knowledge, and strength were as equally valued as the men’s. I learned to appreciate the beauty of my work from Dominic (see picture below) and the importance of precision and accuracy from Megan. Shout-out to Brian and Habitat for Humanity for creating such a humane workspace for us.
