Member Testimonials
“Regarding Her has provided me with an invaluable support network – one that accepts me, pushes me, provides for me, and allows me to have honest conversations about how to gainfully and successfully run an exemplary Thai restaurant in today’s economy. There are specific issues unique to multi-generational AAPI restaurants that I have addressed with the encouragement of Regarding Her that I know have been critical to other AAPI members. Complex questions on authenticity, pricing, organic growth and intergenerational trauma that were addressed in a safe, supportive place.
I cannot overstress the beauty and power of strong, skilled women coming together to aid other women who are in need. Whether it be emotional, intellectual, practical or theoretical, Regarding Her provides support and resources that are literal lifelines.”

“My current success with Bridgetown Roti is a collective effort – I could not have realized my dream without the collaboration of my wife, Shanika, and my tireless crew, and the unparalleled support of Regarding Her, who were instrumental in my transformation from cook, to chef and business owner.
Regarding Her’s Academy Program, it was a game changer for me. It’s one thing to have a vision, talent, and passion for cooking delicious food; it’s quite another to know how to run a successful and profitable business. Regarding Her gave me the tools that I need to move forward and taught me how to hone my business skills—and at no cost!"

“Participating in the March Women’s History Month events was truly a rewarding experience for me. Stepping out of my comfort zone to lead a teaching event was definitely a highlight. It allowed me to expand my skills and connect closely with my followers in a meaningful way. Being featured on the radio was an unexpected but exciting opportunity, and it has opened doors for me to connect with fellow members of the community. As a result I have scheduled future collaborations, which I'm very excited about! Overall, it was a positive and enriching experience that allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.”
