" This episode was filmed on July 31, 2021. In celebration of Women's History Month, we would like to celebrate Evelyn Pacheco, an Army veteran who became Nevada’s first black female union plumber nearly 22 years ago". ” During this episode of No Laughing Matter with Cuba Pete, he hosts Nevada’s first Black female plumber. They will discuss the ‘glass ceiling’ in trades and why such a ceiling places limits on the potential of our children, industries , and communities. Evelyn will share her inspiring story and some of the stories of the women she has been committed to helping over the years. Her work has produced positive results for women in some of the most underserved rural and urban communities throughout Nevada. What lessons can Roseman College of Medicine borrow from her approach to improve the health status of women and communities in Southern Nevada?

Program with the Plumbers, Pipefitters & HVAC UA Local Union 525. She
applied and after five years of working as an Apprentice while taking care of
her family Evelyn finally made history as Nevada’s first licensed Black female
