As a female-founded business, Kreate Kafeteria will partner with food companies created, likewise,
by empowering women. The following companies are female CEOs who spoke at USC’s Lloyd Greif
Center’s 2023 ATHENA Women's Entrepreneurship Summit.
Christina Patwa's
Enroot Organics
Enroot Organics’ non-alcoholic flavored cold brew teas made with “ayurvedic botanicals, loose tea leaves and fresh fruits” is refreshing for the whole family. The classy refined flavors are inspired by Patwa’s Filipina farmer grandmother and created by a team of chefs, farmers, entrepreneurs, advocates and wellness experts to provide nourishment, sustainability and equity in the food industry. Similarly, Kreate Kafeteria holds similar values to promoting accessible cultural food from local farmers, vendors and workers to a population of underprivileged children after school. The Kafeteria will hold its first event in a series of four hosting Enroot Organics’ products for Women’s History Month. Attendees of the event will create custom beverage flavors in an exciting carbonation flavor station.
Sprinkles Cupcakes
Candace Nelson's
Sprinkles Cupcakes is the world’s first cupcake bakery created by Nelson in 2005 that “makes real celebrations taste better” with “premium, baked-fresh daily cupcakes, cakes, chocolates and cookies.” Along with her judging role on Food Network’s hit baking competition, Cupcake Wars, Nelson released a New York Times bestseller, The Sprinkles Baking Book: 100 Secret Recipes from Candace’s Kitchen, and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Sweet Success: A Simple Recipe for Turning Your Passion Into Profit. Nelson will speak and teach women how to turn their passions into a career and, alongside, will have a cupcake decorating station for women of all ages to take time to relax and craft in the Kafeteria’s second event of four for Women’s History Month.
Mendocino Farms
Ellen Chen's
Mendocino Farms is on the mission to “make hearts and stomachs happy” with premium healthy fast-casual sandwiches and salads. The gourmet take on fast food boosts accessibility to healthy meals for those in a time crunch. Chen prioritizes supporting female and minority-owned businesses and will share her experiences as a female Asian entrepreneur to help other women acquire the resources they need. Mendocino Farms will partner with the Kafeteria in the third event of four for Women’s History Month, where attendees will assemble healthy and hearty lunches for local soup kitchens, food pantries and people experiencing homelessness.
