With Her Two Hands
Formerly known as Trades Lady Happy Hour, With Her Two Hands is a weekly podcast dedicated to celebrating women in the trades. Live, Candid and Unscripted conversations with women who work in the trades building, fixing and making things with their own two hands. Women make up less than 10% of trades people, and in some industry the numbers are as low as 2%. This podcast seeks to change that by shining a light on these incredible women. Celebrating them, sharing their struggles as women in incredibly male dominated fields, and increasing their visibility to attract, retain and create space for that number to start to increase. If she can see it she can BE it. And if HE can see it, he can BELIEVE it. Tune in for these candid conversations every week. Listen, learn, laugh and get to know the women who keep the world running.

She also works on cars and motorcycles for fun. Sana is as humble as she is passionate and skilled. She overcame a tremendous amount of pushback and lack of support to find her own path to happiness and has some great words of inspiration for others who may be in a similar situation.

This week I’m thrilled to be joined by a woman who I have been fortunate enough to get to know and work with over the last few years and i have the privilege of calling her a friend. Diana Castrejon is not just your ordinary automotive technician; she's a force to be reckoned with, having been instrumental in not just one but two all-female builds. Her journey is not only marked by technical prowess but also by her unyielding persistence, quick wit, and infectious joy.
Hope you’ll join us on YouTube and FaceBook tonight for an episode of With Her Two Hands you don’t want to miss!

This week’s episode features a dear friend of Bogi and one of her right hands throughout the last All Female Build at her shop! Zena Foster is a master certified @bmwmotorradusa technician, the first and possible only woman to go through their motorcycle STEP program - and one of a shockingly low number of female motorcycle techs in the US (only about ~500 😲)
She shared her experience coming up on the industry, how she started her career and some of the challenges she faced, as well as the support and encouragement she found in the dealerships she worked for. Definitely worth a listen, and make sure you go check out her page to show her some love and support and check out all she is up to.
As with many of our archive episode guests - much has changed for her since this originally aired. Zena in now teaching other up an coming motorcycle techs at Motorcycle Mechanic Institute (MMI)
