Brenda Cumby McGee – aka Maxx McGee – is that fabulous dichotomy of fashion model and union carpenter. She was also a trail-blazer for women in the trades.

Today, Maxx explains:

How those two parallel careers originated
Her covid success story
How things have changed for women in the trades in the last 30 years
Women in a traditionally male environment “sisters in the brotherhood”
“The Pant”
The process of getting a clothing concept from idea to market
And, of course: Ageism!

I really appreciate Maxx’s advice for us Boomer Women if dealing with a granddaughter who prefers tools and trades over more traditional “girl” careers.
