ABOUT LET'S TALK WOMXN:

Let's Talk Womxn is a unique business action movement of women restaurateurs and entrepreneurs in food and drink across 14 cities and growing explosively. Founded mid-2020 by Rohini Dey, Ph.D., Let's Talk Womxn is nourished by Co-Hosts in each city: Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Greater NY, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Miami, Minneapolis, Houston, Milwaukee, Columbus. Everything Let's Talk Womxn (LTW) does by its women owners is to collaboratively combine strength, counsel, deep dive business learnings, generate revenue, and visibility for each other's businesses. LTW is open to all women owners in food and drink to build strength in numbers and lift each other to flourish. LTW deliberately has no dues, no bureaucracy, no pedantic programming, and no overheads, unlike the drain of many conventional entities. All backing generated flows directly to LTW women entrepreneurs with maximal magnified impact.
