This brunch covers the topic Leading with Humility, where women industry leaders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs can come together to discuss and grow in the area. Each brunch explores topics related to being a woman of color in leadership and entrepreneurship in a safe and supportive environment. 

 

The event is taking place at Dooky Chase's in New Orleans. The 4-generation run restaurant was opened by Chef Leah Chase, known as the "Queen of Creole Cuisine," and has fed Quincy Jones, Jesse Jackson, Duke Ellington, Thurgood Marshall, James Baldwin, Ray Charles, Presidents George W. Bush, and Barack Obama and countless others as Executive Chef of Dooky Chase's Restaurant. Leah Chase was also the inspiration for Princess Tiana in Disney's Princess and the Frog—and is Myla's grandmother!
