Black Women Build-Baltimore, an organization started by 2018 OSI-Baltimore Community Fellow Shelley Halstead is featured this month in our Impact Photo Series.
Halstead started the organization specifically to help black women gain skills to renovate and maintain homes and train them in carpentry, electrical, and plumbing, which will equip them to enter the construction sector–a field in which a woman can make two-to-three times the average salary for women in other fields.
