The Culinary Sisterhood Fighting for Women in the Restaurant Industry
What happens when women restaurateurs band together for a unified goal? The answer is exemplified in Regarding Her, a remarkable non-profit organization that emerged in response to the significant challenges faced by women in the restaurant industry. Under the determined leadership of women like Lien Ta and Kim Prince, Regarding Her (RE:Her) has transformed into more than just a support system for food and beverage entrepreneurs grappling with adversity; it has grown into a powerful network advocating for all women within the food and beverage sector.
Family-run, women-led, and BIPOC-owned restaurants endured profound hardships during the pandemic. Amid these trials, RE:Her emerged as a shining beacon, offering vital lifelines such as small business grants, mentorship, and survival tools. For business owners like Mayuko Easton, who tragically lost her husband and business partner just a week after opening their restaurant, Regarding Her offered more than just assistance; they provided a sisterhood that guided her on the path to success.

*Shout out to all the women paving the way in the food industry this Women’s History Month!*
No. Merit is what matters, not whether you're a promoted class.
As a woman, I am sick and tired of women making everything about sexism, racism, and victimhood. It is all projection from weak women. This is why some men treat us different, because so many women shove it in men & boys faces how different we are. It makes us look weak and whiney.
@beakerthree2308 It's pathetic showing your feefees are too fragile for the internet
@@ChaosSwissroIlbut people who are marginalized often perform worse under systems of oppression. even a generally centrist institution like sociology recognizes this
@@jaredpeterson9459 So how long do we need the current oppressive system that artificially advantages the groups you care about to the detriment of all others before we revert to the old 'oppressive' system of equality and judging people on merit rather than immutable characteristics?
Man Mayuko's story is crazy. Single parent, lost their partner, and own/run a business. I'm happy the kids understand the circumstances and want to help. It can hurt for everyone involved. Another great episode
Instant tears 😢. I’m going to go to her restaurant this week, since I live in LA.
I myself want to open a food truck, this inspires me to make it happen. Thank you for this video❤
You learn something new every day I love how strong & courageous women are there so strong 💪
9:42 look at the cute little spinner.... I AM IN LOVE!
I am drooling. I want to fly to LA right now and visit every one of these restaurants. You rock, ladies!
Wow.. I'd sure have a bite!🤩
My mom's dream is this
the people who aren’t constantly charged with anger for no reason absolutely LOVE this series, thank you for showing us where food can come from and the connections + love food creates ❤
More of this wonderfully inspiring content please and thank you
Good job lady's the best to all.
I had no idea women were oppressed to begin with.
Dang, what's with all these chef's cutting onions in here.
Community is everything. Love to see these woman coming together and building each other up for the better.
Thank you for sharing this story
Beautiful!💚
running a sponsored ad before your own video is very iconic!
🎉❤
Mo!!!! Kindness and Mischief!!!!!
I absolutely love this!! 💖
I wish I were surprised that the comments section is so incredibly disheartening. It takes a special kind of person to see this level of joy and empowerment and immediately think "how do I tear that down and stomp all over it".
only thing people want is the entertainment they choose to consume to be of a certain standard. this wasnt. it doesnt have anything to do with gender. it has everything to do with the increasing amount of channels pumping out mediocre content for the sake of pushing an underlying agenda. being labeled a 'woke' kind of channel makes their work safer and more relevant in the short run. you cant critique a public piece of content you about women cause you will be labeled a misogynistic bigot. this severes the connection between the audience and the content creator. thats all this is.
@@Krataios20 Cool story bro
@@Krataios20you’re exactly right. You are a misogynist and a bigot.
@@Krataios20Because if someone is complaining about a piece of content about women solely because it is about women then they are misogynistic bigots which is exactly what is going on in this comment section. In this case it actually has everything to do with gender. If your only complaint about something is that it's "woke", then you are complaining abut the fact that it is content about women. There is nothing inherently "mediocre" about this video. It's a high level of production about an interesting subject. There are many people commenting that they were moved and inspired by it. The people complaining about it aren't complaining about anything specific about the production, just that it's "woke", which means they don't like the fact that it's about women which makes them misogynistic bigots. That's all this is.
@@jabecker21 preach it!
I love this SO much. 🥲
“Paving the way”
This is very inspiring. 🦋
You go girl!
Crying. So beautiful
I love how a video about women really draws out the REEEEE. They really out themselves 😂
You mean like how feminists cry and whine every time men speak about men’s issues?
❤❤❤
Women helping and supporting women - always love to see it!! Not sure why so many people are having a problem with that. Oh wait, I know why....kinda proves the point of the video, eh?
Exactly, you nailed it ;-)
Wish this came out earlier. Hotville Chicken closed at some point in the last year. They have a food truck now, though. Gonna try to catch it one day.
why? Hotville CHicken is still around, its not closed at all
@@knlei1 do you know the address? The chef said the building is being torn down for a housing project.
Love your content 😊😊❤❤
👍💜👍
Im not crying, youre crying!
almost have the reactions are dislikes...Who would've thought.
Anyone talking smackm about these women probably can't stand the heat of the kitchen.
Lots of unseasoned chicken lovers in the comments
Love to see it! Women are the reason my personal chef business has thrived.
Lazy sexism.
@@StimParavane You know bigot well
@@StimParavane says the privileged white man
This is awesome. They did more for their community than the BLM movement.
First We Feast out here farming ESG.
when you want to make the world a better place, but more importantly prove how woke you are
I bet you couldn't wait to post that
Implying it is bad 50s baby
Dei is the definition of racism. Including or excluding someone solely based on skin tone or gender instead of merit 😢
But all the plebs are going to get heated in the replies because the racism goes in their favor in this era. And if the fact that racism applies to all races is a foreign concept for people, they're already pawns of Ideological Subversion. DEI hurts the people it panders to way more than it hurts the people being illegally discriminated against.
Says the privileged white male...
One of them is a cheater, one is a fraud, the other two are just... there. Together, they become the worst nightmare of the restaurant worker! First We Feast presents: Four Women Who Are Great Because They're Women. Don't miss it!(?)
Last i checked they dont give out loans when you dont have good credit, not by your skin color.
Y'all have really never heard of red lining?
@@Alwayz114 Thank you! Yeah, maybe they should read "Laws today aim to protect borrowers from discriminatory lending practices, but that wasn't always the case. For decades, U.S. banks denied mortgages to Black applicants-and those belonging to other racial and ethnic minority groups-who lived in certain areas redlined by a federal agency called the Home Owners' Loan Corp. (HOLC). Although HOLC has been defunct since the early 1950s, those practices still resonate today." -"The History of Lending Discrimination" by Investopedia. Hope rises eternal, anyway...
"The pandemic affected woman more than men" prove it
Pew Research Center: "Some gender disparities widened in the U.S. workforce during the pandemic" by Richard Fry, January 14, 2022 -- Intro: "The COVID-19 recession resulted in a steep but transitory contraction in employment, with greater job losses among women than men. The recovery began in April 2020 and is not complete..." There is plenty of research on the web, from UNICEF, Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), etc. focusing on not just the US, but Europe, Asia, etc. Not hard to find.
@@sarahinsf Thanks
@@sarahinsf more women lost their jobs? More men lost their lives. So no, the pandemic did not affect women more than men. You just keep cherry picking the data to push your DEI agenda 👍
@@markbelisle9675 Well, the question didn't specify Mortality vs. Jobs, but okay. This video is about jobs, not dying, so I figured that's what data they were interested in. But yes, many more men died. Sorry to agree with you? From the National Institutes of Health: "Findings from these studies show that morbidity and case fatality rates were markedly higher in men compared to women. A study showed that men were more prone to develop a severe form of the disease, and were at 2.4 times higher risk of death compared to women, independent of age (Jin, 2020)." Quick, report me to the DEI police! 🚨
@@sarahinsflmfao and they say women are more emotional, seems like ur a soulless robot. I would’ve thought you were a chat gpt bot if it wasn’t for ur account age
I wonder how many men are denied loans or permits for every woman who is denied. Probably a larger ratio than anyone imagines…
Probably, but men on average have more loan debt than women do too. From "The history of women and loans" from Bankrate: "The present day - Today, the way in which men and women use loans differs significantly. Research from American University found that women are generally more likely to use loan funds for emergency and practical expenses, while men are more likely to use these funds for luxury expenses. This could be why, on average, men have 20 percent more personal loan debt than women." Brief and eye-opening article that covers back to 1848 if you want to read more!
@00:54 Mo is really an inspiration. She literally began laughing hysterically to keep from crying. As a newer business owner, I will say I’m hoping at some point I get to where all these women currently are…I’ve just got to stay down! Absolutely loved this video.🫶🏽
“Fighting for women in the restaurant industry!!!” 🤡🤡🤡
Forced representation is not the move. Not only that, but the discriminatory racism/sexism of only accepting certain skin colors/gender is disgusting and the opposite of empowerment. That's not paving the way, that's regressing the way
You’re making these women that have worked hard to run their own business sound like a charity case, they are strong people they dont need to be praised we should respect for their hard work and thats it…this reminds of adults clapping for children …its unecessary and condescending
Uh...if that was the case, why did they choose to be here? Why are they whining and blaming their woes on "b-cuz I wahmen"? They are overgrown children who craze attention.
I dont understand this world, we should be basing people on their skill level, not whether they have bobs or not, or identify as a bob.
Says the privileged white man
Day three of spamming hot ones until they invite Tyler ninja Blevins
Eeew
Ditsy twot
Feminism come _full circle_ 😏
Maybe put some food with the stories on a food channel might add to the depth or at very least add some visuals that relate to food on a food channel
It is about food. Restaurants make food.
Look at all the thumbs down haters. 😂 Go elsewhere! This channel ain't for you!!
too much girl, no powe
Sisterhood woke gets no views compared to every other video on this channel.
Get your politics out of my food.
Exactly, suddenly I lost my appetite.
Women existing = politics. Obviously.
First We Feast slowly becoming more and more woke.. Make the show's focus actually food, dont bring politics into it..
Seems they're caving to government coercion to push their agenda. The channel is about to tank massively. Even Hot Ones is bringing in all these awful guests recently.
Can you define what woke means?
@@benrolfe8490 It means recognizing race, sexism and lGBTQ. These people are horrible
@@benrolfe8490 Can you define what woman means? Just like with woke, we all know what it means, but you pretend to not understand.
Literally just women talking about their restaurants. I like food and i like going out to eat, so imma watch this. No one cares if you’re offended by “politics”.
Ironic that women fought to leave the kitchen to go to work in a kitchen.
What is all this woke garbage?
first we feast is garbage. theyd be nothing without sean and i hope he leaves this woke garbage in his rear view lol
Reee.
tbh... if he would leave and start his own talkshow even without hotwings... heck it could be COOKIE eating and people would still follow him XD
Oh another episode of privileged people whining about not getting free hand outs.
this whole video is so condescending
Lost me with bigotry.
I worked with a lot of women in the 18 years that I was in the industry, and Im still friends with so many of them. The work ethic, the multi-tasking, the passion, and the attention to detail they all brought was inspiring🩷
