Chef Irene Li

My name is Irene. I am the co-founder of Mei Mei Dumplings, a family-owned restaurant located in Boston, MA that I created with my brother and sister. I look for ways to positively influence policy. I want to ensure that people who produce food are treated with dignity. Immigrant community members and migrant women are critical to our food system, though their contributions often go unnoticed if they are in the fields or behind the kitchen door. In my experience, the most delicious things I've eaten have been touched by an immigrant worker.

我叫 Irene。我是 Mei Mei Dumplings 的联合创始人,这是一家位于马萨 诸塞州波士顿的家族餐馆,是我和我的兄弟姐妹一起创立的。我一直在 寻找积极影响政策的途径。我希望确保所有从事食物生产工作的人都能 受到尊重。移民团体和外来的女性劳动者是我们餐饮体系中不可或缺的 一员。她们长期在田间或厨房辛勤工作,但她们的付出往往得不到应有 的认可。就我的经验而言,我吃过的最美味的食物,几乎背后都有移民 工人的辛勤付出。
