Queer Chef, Approached by Ivanka Trump (Dot Com), Slams Its Namesake –”I’m for Women Who ACTUALLY Empower Other Women”

By Trey Speegle on April 18, 2017 6:15 am


To me, quoting someone like Gloria Steinem, who CLEARLY doesn’t share your values, seems disingenuous and hollow

Last week, the executive chef at New York City‘s Mission Chinese Food received an strange invitation out of the blue from a representative of the First Family.

Angela Dimayuga says she got a direct message on Instagram from a freelance writer from IvankaTrump.com. The writer said she was a “long time fan” and wanted to interview Dimayuga as a strong female entrepreneur.

The out chef was not having it, but she was a pro,

“Thank you for thinking of me. I’m glad you are a fan of my work so much that you want to provide more visibility for my career to inspire ‘other working women.’ However, I’m for women who actually empower other women.

I don’t believe that IvankaTrump.com is truly ‘a non-political platform of empowerment for [women]’. So long as the name Trump is involved, it is political and frankly, an option for the IvankaTrump.com business to make a profit.

I don’t see anything empowering about defunding Planned Parenthood, barring asylum from women refugees, rolling back safeguards for equal pay, and treating POC/LGBT and the communities that support these groups like second class citizens.

As a queer person of color and daughter of immigrant parents I am not interested in being profiled as an aspirational figure for those that support a brand and a President that slyly disparages female empowerment. Sharing my story with a brand and family that silences our same voices is futile.

Thank you for the consideration.“

Don’t worry Ivanka, that burn is covered under Obamacare.
