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 childiren, industries and communities. Evelyn will share her inspiring story, as well as some of the stories of the women she has been committed to help 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?

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 plumber. Letting Women know that it does not matter how hard your life is or was, you can still make something of your life. She has leveraged her experience to help all Women through her “Nevada Women in Trades” organization, a non-profit organization formed specifically to increase the number of Women in trades.
