Today is National Giving Day.
This day reminds us to give back to our communities as well as officially kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
Two chefs in our city decided to take the idea of giving one step further and organize an event to bring together women in the culinary world to help women in need in the mid-South.
“Female Warriors is a collaboration of all female cooks, bloggers, writers, farmers … and we are all getting together and organizing ourselves to help the Memphis community,” explains event co-founder Felicia Willett, chef and owner of Felicia Suzanne’s.
“Kat and I formed Female Warriors because we wanted a place where women could come together and our voices be heard and we wanted to empower other women in the community.”
Kat Gordon, co-founder of Female Warriors and owner and founder of Muddy’s Bake Shop, chimed in … “Our event is really highlighting a breadth of professions within the food industry and it really made sense for us to support the Women’s Foundation as they also are supporting a breadth of different women’s organizations.”
And how can you support Female Warriors and their mission? Why by eating well of course!
“Tonight, we are going to gather from 5:30 to 8:30 at the lobby of Felicia Suzanne’s Restaurant to host our first Female Warriors event.”
What to expect? “So tonight’s evening will be filled with tastings from the city’s best female chefs, music, beverages, and we’ve got a swag bag of delicious sweets to take home!”
Tickets will be available at the door as well as are still available on-line at www.feliciasuzanne.com or www.muddysbakeshop.com.
