Invest in Women, Fuel the Future
SUPPORT WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS IN FOOD & BEVERAGE
Women in the food and beverage industry are unsung heroes, creating businesses that serve as cultural and community hubs. However, systemic challenges like limited access to capital and resources prevent many from reaching their full potential. Supporting these women isn’t just about helping small businesses survive; it’s about ensuring the heart and soul of our communities thrive.
The Need:
Although women make up 54% of the food industry workforce, they are underrepresented in leadership roles and face unique barriers to growth. By supporting Regarding Her, you help drive change, break down these barriers, and ensure that women have equal opportunities to succeed.
The Change You Help Create…
Every dollar invested in women entrepreneurs strengthens local communities, sustains independent businesses, and fosters gender parity in the industry.
Your support enables us to offer free, essential resources, mentorship, and visibility to women-owned businesses.

“Working with Regarding Her during the relaunch of my business was hugely impactful. Not only was I able to collaborate with a wonderful woman-owned business on a very well-attended class, and get exposure on the radio show Foodie and the Beast, but those opportunities resulted in meeting other women food-entrepreneurs, and ultimately additional collaborations, including one with Hank's Oyster Bar. Because of that collaboration, I was able to secure a TV appearance and they ended up booking me for another segment the next month. All of this is to say that without the initial help and connections provided by Regarding Her, the relaunch of my business would have been much slower going, and I wouldn't have gotten nearly as much exposure.”
June Intrachat, Chef & Owner of Otus Thai Kitchen & Coffee
“I absolutely love the camaraderie and support that I experience as a member of Regarding Her! I have made lifelong friendships and look to other members for inspiration and education. In 2021, I did a 10-day collaboration with Regarding Her member Jill Bernheimer of Domaine LA that 100% changed the direction of our wine program and increased our visibility and profitability in new and very exciting ways.
Women supporting women is a recipe for success! Since I became a member, I feel empowered as a woman business owner, and much more confident in my ability as a leader in the L.A. restaurant community. As a restaurateur, it is essential to grow and change with the times – Regarding Her helps me meet today’s significant challenges in a focused and intelligent way.”
