About the Queen: Ericka Adams, an Air Force Veteran and aircraft mechanic by trade. She loves how the trade careers have changed her life, so she now uses her passion to inspire girls from around the world to explore the possibilities of these amazing careers while learning a skill or two from these areas that help make them more independent! A girl’s career nor skill set will not EVER define her level of feminine value, and she will continue to show the world that we are truly capable of all the impossibilities.

The Scent: Expertly crafted with a refreshing blend of bitter orange, apple, and sea lavender, Ericka: Sea Lavender Musk will transport you to the beach. Soft rose and uplifting geranium add a floral touch, while base notes of leather, moss, musk, and tonka create a warm and inviting ambiance.

Her Non-Profit: Boots and Heels Scholarship Fund. Women are still highly underrepresented in technical fields and the trades.Women often aren’t encouraged to pursue the trades due to systemic gender gaps, limited female mentors, and workplace bias. In order to create more opportunities for women and to balance out the industries, it’s crucial that women have the support they need to pursue the careers of their dreams, even if they’re untraditional. This scholarship seeks to help young women enter male-dominated career fields by supporting them through their pursuit of higher education.Any female high school senior, trade school student, or associate degree student who is pursuing a career in the trades, a technical field, or a two-year degree/certificate path may apply for this scholarship.
