Regarding Her
Regarding Her (aka RE:Her) was born from the initiative of nine Los Angeles restaurateurs in November 2020, in response to the devastating impact of Covid-19 on the restaurant industry. This non-profit organization focuses on empowering women in the culinary industry. It aims to provide opportunities, resources and a support network for women working in the gastronomy sector. Their ambition is to create the industry they want for themselves and for future generations – an industry they can be proud of, and where women thrive.
