140. Race, Gender and the Welding Industry with Pa’Trice Frazier, Master Welder, instructor and advocate for the trades

Guest:  Pa'Trice Frazier - Master Welder, Welding Instructor and advocate for the trades. 

We talk often about how the trades is heavily male dominated, this is not news.  Let's be honest though, it is specifically dominated by white men.  This week's guest is all too familiar with the lack of diversity in the trades in general and specifically in the welding industry.  Pa'Trice Frazier is the only Black Female Welding instructor in the Philadelphia Metro area, and is a nationally recognized master welder.  Through her business, Weld Jointed, she is committed to bringing more diversity to the industry she loves and in her own words she is "on a mission to raise awareness and be a brand ambassador for welding as a career and to teach skills to anyone who ever hoped for more out of life."  

In this episode, we have a open and candid conversation about the lack of diversity in the trades, and what can be done about it. Pa'Trice has a great attitude and perspective and shares some great words of wisdom throughout the episode.
