Chef and restauranteur Ann Kim (Pizzeria Lola, Hello Pizza, Young Joni, Sooki & Mimi and Kim’s) will join our food panel, Third-Culture Cuisine in Minnesota.
Planned Parenthood North Central States President & CEO Ruth Richardson will join the panel Black Maternal Health in Minnesota.
Kim and Richardson join an already star-studded lineup of local guests including Gov. Tim Walz, Sen Tina Smith, chefs Yia Vang and Jorge Guzmán, entrepreneur Houston White Jr., comedian Sheletta Brundidge, Clockwork CEO Nancy Lyons and many more.
Ann Kim is the Chef/Owner of Pizzeria Lola, Hello Pizza, Young Joni, Sooki & Mimi and Kim’s (coming fall 2023). In 2019, Ann became the first woman and first person of color from Minneapolis to receive the James Beard Award for “Best Chef Midwest.”
These two sessions will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23, and are breakout sessions only open to VIPs, sponsors and paid passholders. All Saturday sessions will be held at The 1893 at the Historic Grain Belt Office.
