Chef Lena delivered a speech at the @mappimpact conference, which brought together remarkable female chefs and restaurateurs. The purpose of the event was to foster collaboration and solutions to industry-wide problems women face, sharing individual journeys of achievement and challenges in front of a Congressional Panel, Fortune 500 companies and small business owners alike.


During the speech, Chef Lena spoke passionately about what’s at the heart of Lena’s Asian Kitchen and took a stand against domestic violence.
