In 2018, in South Africa, Studio H, a culinary design company, launched Food XX Africa with the aim of celebrating and spotlighting women working in food-related sectors across the continent. Beyond the biological marker, \u201cXX\u201d is a nod to modern feminism\u2014a sign of connection between women, a mark of resistance, and a visual symbol of intersection where cultures, languages, and ideas converge to create something new.More than just a network, FOOD XX is a joyful, powerful, and supportive movement that honors creativity, resilience, and female leadership in the world of food and beverages. From publishing city guides that highlight women-owned or -led food businesses to organizing unifying events like FOOD XX Week, the movement is best known for its biennial award, the Food XX Africa \u2013 Women in Food, which celebrates the outstanding contributions of women in the food and hospitality industry.Whether they are chefs, farmers, food stylists, entrepreneurs, photographers, or sustainability activists\u2014like Xoliswa Ndoyiya, awarded in the Food Icon category, or Roushanna Gray, in the Food of the Future category\u2014these awardees embody excellence and are rewriting the rules in their own ways, with kindness and boldness. <\/p>\n\n
