Tara Davis 

Mother!
Ironworker!
Union Member!
Tradeswoman!
Warrior!

Life has thrown her many obstacles but, she never believe in letting it rule her future. 

Tara was born and raised in Elk Plain Washington. She worked as an orthodontic technician for over 10 years until her husband Huge Craig a structural Ironworker encouraged her to become an Ironworker. 

Tara believes in taking life one sunbeam at a time and lives by the creed that her grandparents taught her it’s a fact that she will  always be a  statistic so  be part of the statistic that succeed.
She’s on a mission to show that if you stay in the fight even your detractors will respect your grit.

With excitement, let me introduce you to
Dawn Jones Redstone.

This quote is her reality “The power of a written word”

 Her word led into a sentence.

Her sentence led into a paragraph. 

Her paragraph led into chapters.

The chapters awarded purpose!

 The day came when the story inside of her wanted to breath on its own.

 Her writing comes from the revolution in her heart

She doesn’t just believe in writing the story she believes in the power of the story.  Her stories give life to awareness, possibilities, and presence. 

She became an award-winning queer, Latinx writer/director.  She was named the Woman of Vision by Oregon Daily Journal of Commerce. In addition, she served as a union carpentry and training manager for a combined total of 15-years.

She continues to change the world by making a choice to pick up a pen and camera.

 When we dare to own our stories, we get to create a brave new ending.
