Building Women Magazine Spotlights 2025 PWB Chair Carrie DeWeese

The latest edition of Building Women Magazine is making waves, featuring 2025 Professional Women in Building (PWB) Chair Carrie DeWeese on its cover. The magazine explores career paths for women in the building industry, with DeWeese and other industry leaders sharing insights on diversity, inclusion, and their personal journeys.

DeWeese, who prefers the term 'restoration' over 'flipping' for house renovation to honor each house's history, discusses her commitment to making homes comfortable and secure, not just physical structures. Her mantra, 'Iron Sharpens Iron', reflects her belief in strong mentorship and community building.

The magazine also features three other industry leaders - Camille Jenkins, Gloria Marie Fuentes, and Grace Tsao Mase. Fuentes suggests broadening access to training and mentorship programs to encourage more women of color to join the industry. Jenkins believes sharing success stories and eliminating barriers to entry, such as through scholarships, can also help. Mase highlights the importance of supportive mentors and allies in overcoming feelings of invisibility.

DeWeese's career journey, from being a lobbyist to a top real estate agent, serves as an inspiration. Alongside other leaders, she is driving change in the industry, promoting diversity and inclusion, and making the building industry a more welcoming place for all.
