When your car breaks down it can feel like defeat, and shopping for a car without the right knowledge can be overwhelming. That’s why today’s guest has created a safe space to help the average consumer learn how to better buy and understand their vehicle investment. At Mechanic Shop Femme, car education is empowerment, and today we welcome the Founder, Chaya Milchtein. Chaya is also a style influencer, writer, speaker, and automotive educator, writing about a variety of topics, including plus-size fashion, radical body acceptance, and queer life. She works as an advocate for LGBTQIA+ and body positivity and has been featured in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and on Oprah. In this episode, Chaya shares a bit more about Mechanic Shop Femme, why her audience doesn’t have the automotive education they need, and how “car bro culture” plays into her work. She is paving her own path in the male-dominated automotive industry, not just by being unapologetically herself but by carving out a place so that others can do the same. Chaya has so much amazing insight and advice to share, so make sure to tune in today!
