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.
