Bio

Renée Edwards-Ambrose is a Aircraft Maintenance Technician, Motorsports Influencer, Plus Model, Mentor and Entrepreneur. It is amazing how she finds the time to do all the aforementioned.

She has been nominated for ABDRA Female Drag of the Year two times and for Antigua and Barbuda Sportswoman of the Year (in Drag Racing) once.

Although she excels in a testosterone filled environment, Renée loves fashion and modelling. She won the inaugural Carnival Plus Model International 2014 in Trinidad and Tobago, then won the 1st ever Curvy Idol Competition in Atlanta Georgia in February 2015.

Renée believes in being the change that they would like to see. To this extent, the team adopted the Mini Girls Basketball team of the Liberta Primary School – LHF Hoops Basketball Team. She also donates her time, when possible, as a motivational speaker at Schools and Events across Antigua and Barbuda.

"Love all of you! Change nothing! You owe the world one thing; The legacy of your unmistakable individuality!"

Washer Fluid and Engine Coolant
Suspension

& much more

Summary

During the LadyMex Workshop, we will be giving you the "Basics from our #LadyMex" on how to carry out Minor tasks to prevent Major repairs. We will also drop a few tips...(and no, not French tips).

The facilitators are members of Lady Horsepower Farm, which is the Caribbean’s 1st All-Female Drag Racing Team. With this LadyMex (Lady Mechanics) Workshop initiative, in Antigua and Barbuda, they seek to challenge the distorted views of society as it relates to women in the automotive industry.
