Andressa, the 21-year-old who owns a truck polishing company and is run by many men

There is no doubt that gender roles are changing, or at least becoming much more flexible. It is becoming more and more common to see girls taking positions that we would usually associate with a man and vice versa.

This allows people to have much more variety and freedom to pursue whatever profession or trade they want. That is the case of Andressa Silva de Souza, a 21-year-old Brazilian girl whose job will surprise you.

Get to know Andressa’s business

Andressa has gone viral on social media due to her work, because she, like many young people today, decided to start her own business, but this is a bit out of the ordinary.

The girl lives near an important commercial route in her country, which is heavily traveled by trucks for transporting all kinds of merchandise, and that is how she saw a great opportunity for a business: a workshop to clean and polish truck engines , whose name is Pulimentos Andressa.

She is the team leader

Andressa has shown that she is not afraid to take the tools and do “the dirty work”, which is essential work so that the trucks can reach their destination safely. Also, because she is the boss, this 21-year-old leads a team made up almost entirely of men.

This has caught the attention of many people, who are surprised to see a young girl doing very physical work that is traditionally associated with men, but Andressa has said that she has never been intimidated by working with tools.

“Getting dirty doesn’t affect my vanity”

The young woman shares her work on social networks, where she has gained a significant number of followers. When asked if her work affects her femininity, she assures that it does not.

They never said that I was too feminine to do my job, but they did doubt my physical strength, because it is so heavy. I love my job and getting dirty doesn’t affect my vanity; On the contrary, every day I show myself what I am capable of.
