MORE WOMEN
LEADERS IN
SCREEN PRINTING?
ASKING THE TOUGH QUESTIONS FOR A
MORE INCLUSIVE INDUSTRY.

their dues and rose through the ranks
to lead. Working as a team, they
always made the company better as
they brought a fresh perspective to
a challenge. Diversity of ideas always
strengthens the outcome.

with Wear Your Spirit Warehouse in
Huntingtown, Maryland, and a 2020
Women in Screen Printing Award

I tell people I own Wear Your Spirit
Warehouse. My husband was active
duty and passed away in 2016, and
they assume he started and built the
business and I simply took it over when
he passed. That couldn't be further from
the truth. Dave was a USAF Pilot (gone
more than 200 days a year) with a top-
