January 21 marks the fourth anniversary of the LA Women’s March. This year, it’s the first day of a 10-day, virtual and in-person event that involves menu collaborations and panel conversations by and for women.
“We all have capes on,” Kim Prince said . “I tell all these female restaurant owners, don’t tuck your capes in. Wear them out and let them fly.”
The owner of Hotville Chicken at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw mall is part of a new all-female Los Angeles organization called Regarding Her, or RE:Her. The group is creating a growing network of female chefs and restaurateurs to support one another with mentorship and resources. The newly formed 501(c)(3) has about 80 members, including All Day Baby, Akasha, Playa Provisions, Kismet, Porridge + Puffs, Socalo, Meals by Genet and Ronan. RE:Her plans to host a 10-day festival in January to coincide with the anniversary of the Women’s March on Jan. 21.
