Regarding Her Festival returns in March to support women-owned and led food and beverage businesses during Women’s History Month. Many of the festival’s events will raise funds for RE:Her’s member programs, like RE:Her Academy, member workshops, and programming for women leaders and decision-makers within food and beverage businesses in Los Angeles.

Founded by women chefs and restaurant owners in 2020 to support women in food and beverage impacted by COVID-19, the organization has become a talent incubator and mentorship organization that champions more than 1,000 women entrepreneurs and leaders in the food and beverage industry. The Regarding Her Accelerator Academy helps meet the critical business needs confronted by new entrepreneurs and provides education, community, and financial resources.
