However, women in construction are a part of history.  Not alot of women dive into this line of work. I see ALOT of women do it nowadays.  However, it still is not enough!  Enjoy the article and feel free to share: http://thewire.org.au/story/celebrating-women-trades/  My book is on iTunes as well: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/construction-tales-vol-1/id725235089?mt=11  Cheers!  Leslie M Jasper

I was moved by what she wrote and wanted to share.  I wish I had someone to convey these thoughts when I was dealing with the worst parts of my career working in the field. As one guy used to say to me, "Sexual harassment starts for Leslie at 7:01am". I endured plenty in my 21 year career as a journeywoman electrician. I combatted alot of the nonsense with tons of humor.  You must learn how to manage plenty of poor behavior working as a woman in construction. Enjoy this pep talk I am sharing: Sometimes when you are harassed at work, you text your girl on break, and she gives you a pep talk. This was a particularly good one, so I'll leave it here, and anyone who needs a pep talk can refer t

Hello everyone, I am proud to support my DJ friends, Kyle & House, for creating their first blog to support the promotion of their radio show! They have a radio show on Tune-In internet radio, known as #SecondShiftRadio They spin R&B, Jazz, and Soul hits on Sundays 5-8PM EST. Lawrence, aka House, is on the left and Kyle is on the right: Their YouTube channel will be launched soon so they can be more interactive with their existing listeners and new viewers to come!! They recently had an author from the UK interested in an international book interview. They are working on the technological capabilities to make that happen. http://thesecondshiftradionyc.blogspot.com Cheers!🍻🍻 #SecondShiftRadio #TuneIn #books #ConstructionTales #NextLevel 💪💪 #authors #musicians #NYC #Queens Warm wishes, Leslie M.

Hello everyone, It appears that my last (3) projects have been NYC transit subway projects. It is a unique niche where I seem to keep going back to for some reason. Oddly enough, I don't mind it at all. It is fast paced and a challenge; I feel like I run on adrenaline and tend to skip lunch. It is my own issue since I always feel too busy or it will slow me down. I have a very strong work ethic and that is vital in an industry surrounded predominantly by men. This year, I started taking mass transit to reduce my stress. In addition, I had to give in and start taking blood pressure meds. I feel like it is something that makes the heat hard to bear. I wonder how the winter will feel?🤔🤔 It has just been my luck lately that once a project wraps up to the punchlist, I end up parting ways. Leaving one project was due to massive company wide layoffs. The second layoff was due to the job wrapping just after I created the punchlist; someone lower on the totem pole can check off comple
