Black female chefs make their own way outside fine dining

The fine dining industry can no longer elude the reputation they have earned for denying Black female chefs a seat at the table, according to women like Auzerais Bellamy and Tanya Holland, who share their experiences of being shut out from mentorships and professional opportunities. Some of these chefs have gone on to launch their own eateries or advocate through organizations like Just Call Me Chef, as way to help elevate the next generation of Black culinary artists.
