MAPP (Mentorship, Advocacy, Purpose and the Power of women) is the non-
profit organization dedicated to empowering women in the culinary and
hospitality industry. On Tuesday, April 2 the organization will return to Miami for
the red carpet premiere of filmmaker Joanna James’ exploration and celebration
of women in the culinary industry in the award-winning film, A Fine Line. Taking
place at Miami Beach’s Regal Cinema, the event will be part of a day-long series
of events focused on creating a culture of self-worth and respect for women in or
looking to build a life in the restaurant industry.
The film premiere itself will take place at 7:30PM, followed by an all-star panel
discussion featuring local and national female culinary stars including Dominique
Crenn, who stars in the film and is the only three Michelin star female chef in the
U.S. Joining her will be chefs Eileen Andrade, Lorena Garcia, Karla Hoyos,
Dayanny De La Cruz, Suzanne Baer and Karina Rivera. Tickets for the film and
panel are $30 per person.
For those looking to expand their opportunity to learn and further engage with
MAPP, there will be a mini-conference earlier that day, starting at 3:30PM at
Santorini by Georgios. Industry leaders will delve into the theme of “Creating a
Culture of Respect,” featuring rotating workshops and discussions on self-worth
including financial independence, so female professionals feel their voices are
heard. There will be an appetizer, wine and cocktail reception for attendees to
meet each other while also having the opportunity to speak with their industry
heroes leading panel conversations.
In addition to being the CEO and founder of MAPP, James is the director and
producer of the award-winning film that had its national broadcast premiere on
PBS, A Fine Line. The film became a rallying call for greater gender equality in
professional kitchens and the building blocks to what MAPP is today.
The April 2nd event will be its official cinematic release in Miami.
“It’s full circle not only bringing the film I made on creating gender equality in the
hospitality industry to Miami, the hub of nightlife and epic restaurants, but also
the non-profit born from it MAPP, hosting its annual conference here,” said
James. This time women will get to see themselves and our universal stories on
the big screen to ask ourselves how we can shape a future where respect,
equality and empowerment thrive.”
Proceeds from the event will benefit the 501c3 non-profit MAPP, dedicated to
empowering women into leadership roles. This even was made possible by our
sponsors: PepsiCo, Delta Air Lines, Dough Wines, Markham Napa Valley
Vineyards.
