Regarding Her
Regarding Her is transforming the food and beverage industry by accelerating the growth and economic mobility of women—especially women of color—who have long been excluded from opportunity and leadership. Although women make up the majority of the industry’s workforce, they face systemic barriers that limit access to capital, networks, and advancement. They are breaking this cycle by expanding income-generating opportunities, strengthening leadership capacity, and building pathways to financial independence. With a diverse membership of over 1,300 women—including chefs, owners, operators, and decision-makers—Regarding Her reflects the richness of the industry and amplifies voices too often overlooked. Their mission is to build an equitable and inclusive future where women thrive as leaders, innovators, and employers. Their success fuels ripple effects: creating jobs, increasing household stability, strengthening local food systems, and reinvesting in communities to build more resilient local economies for generations to come.
