It’s never too late to breakout out of your mundane life, as one Detroit woman is proving to others that it’s okay to shake out of your routine and do what you want to do in life.
Patricia Washington, a 31-year-old from Detroit, and currently the only woman working in the Detroit steel mill, is aiming to get away from her tough life by becoming an international model. Patricia had plenty of naysayers when word spread that she was to work in the steel mill.
“When they first heard that a female was going to step up and take the challenge they thought I wouldn’t make it.They said, ‘no way, she’s not going to be able to pick up this 100 pound nozzle, she’s not going to be able to swing the sledge or hammer,’ Patricia recalls.
“They felt like it was a man’s job. But then I came in and made it happen. Now they treat me like just one of the guys.”
And while Patricia’s job involves pouring 240 tonnes of molten steel into moulds, all her energy will now go into achieving what she’s always wanted: to be a model. Patricia began chasing that dream by undergoing surgery, which included spending thousands of dollars on a butt enlargement procedure using fat taken from her back, arms, stomach, and thighs.
Patricia now has measurements of 38-28-50.
Patricia first caught attention when photos of her out and about were posted on Instagram:
“I went shopping and bought some clothes and got my make-up done. Some pictures were taken of me and posted on Instagram and that next morning my followers tripled.”I got contacted by a photographer and he told me I had a great look that other girls didn’t have and he invited me to Miami.”
“I went to Miami and shot my first photo shoot and it was published in one of the top urban magazines.”
Patricia (and her behind) are currently working as a model and hosting parties everywhere including London and Dubai. She also is working with fashion designers, and has made $10,000 from her career as a model.
“I don’t want to be 40 and 45 and look up and say like why did I spend all my life at the factory and I haven’t done anything. I haven’t traveled, I haven’t experienced the world, I haven’t met different people.”
This story should motivate everyone who isn’t happy to go to what you want to do. Or at least start a Fight Club. Whatever is easier.
