Food Rebels – Mex Ibrahim on Equity, Representation and Rewriting the Rules

On Food Rebels, AJ Sharp is joined by Mex Ibrahim, founder of Women in the Food Industry, an organisation championing equity, visibility and real opportunity for women across every corner of food and drink.

From Michelin-star gatekeeping to boardroom representation, from professional kitchen culture to the confidence gap in funding and leadership, this is a powerful and honest conversation about what still needs to change and why it matters to all of us.

Mex shares the moment that sparked the creation of Women in the Food Industry, inspired by her work with Asma Khan and a powerful quote about women supporting women.
