Starting a restaurant or any culinary business is hard. It is even harder if you're a woman. And if you're a woman of color, multiply that difficulty times a bazillion.
San Francisco’s La Cocina empowers entrepreneurs to break into the food and restaurant industry. Entrepreneurs in the incubator receive subsidized commercial kitchen space, technical and legal support, and access to opportunities to grow their businesses. 95% of La Cocina businesses are opened by women.
The nonprofit has plans to open a food hall made up solely of female-run businesses in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood.
This is an inspiring example of the growth and community that food and generosity can inspire.
