F2F TEKWOMEN Lunch & Learn with Mindy Woods: Exploring female-led entrepreneurship

We’re excited to invite you to the very first TEKWOMEN Lunch & Learn, featuring special guest Mindy Woods—Bundjalung woman, celebrated chef, restaurateur, and passionate advocate for native foods, often known as the “Native Food Queen.”

In this opening session, Mindy will share her inspiring journey from chef to entrepreneur, weaving together stories of culture, community, and leadership. Through the lens of a female founder, she’ll reflect on:

• The turning points and challenges of entrepreneurship

• How resilience, identity, and perspective can shape leadership

• The role of women as leaders, knowledge keepers, and culture-shapers

This conversation isn’t just for founders—it’s for anyone curious about the unique experiences we carry and how these threads influence the way we lead, connect, and create at work and in life.

What to Expect

• A candid conversation with Mindy Woods

• A short guided reflection exercise

• Space for group sharing and connection

• An open 'Ask Me Anything' with Mindy

Why Attend?

Entrepreneurship through the female founder lens goes far beyond building businesses. It’s about honoring wisdom, stories, and strengths we already hold—and learning how to bring them into the way we show up as leaders, colleagues, and community members.

Join us for this inspiring and interactive session to learn, share, and celebrate the power of women’s leadership.
