The women of Pink Hard Hatz Construction are painting the town pink and normalizing women in trades.
CHICAGO -- According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up just under 11% of construction workers.

It's a statistic Sashe Ivy is hoping to change.

"I was sitting in a meeting. Once again, it was all-male contractors. And I thought about how females can do this," Ivy said.

Ivy owns Pink Hard Hatz Construction, a full-service, licensed, and bonded construction company.

"I always have work coming because what I'm finding out is that people, especially women and seniors, want to see a woman. They're tired of being taken advantage of," Ivy said.

Ivy has partnered with Chicago Women in Trades, a nonprofit working to get women involved in various trade careers, and hopes her efforts have a lasting impact on women across the country.

I know several millionaire black construction owners.. some get contracts that the white boys think their to good for.. also nobody worried about Mexicans for the simple fact that those are Mexican workers that usually have white bosses.. the bosses pocket a shitload of money and pay their Mexican workers shit.. so they get big contracts and pay them low
