This week on the Empowering Industry Podcast, Charli sits down with Nushrat Ahmed to talk about building community, finding your path, and creating space for women in the trades.
Nushrat shares how a simple group chat turned into the Sisterhood of Trades, now a growing global network supporting women across manufacturing, welding, machining, and more. From stepping into the industry by chance to launching a movement, her story highlights the power of mentorship, connection, and speaking up.
They also talk about career pivots, the importance of support systems, and why there is no single path in the trades.
If you are looking to grow your career, build confidence, or connect with others in the industry, this conversation is for you.
Listen now and get inspired by the women shaping the future of the trades.
