Dori Kaufman, owner of Bread & Cie, has won and been recognized by the San Diego Magazine San Diego Magazine as Pioneer in the Food and Beverage Industry in their Celebrating Woman Summit.
As she was up for nomination, our team was asked to speak on the ways Dori empowers and influences women in San Diego and beyond, and we wanted to share this response from one of the women Dori mentors.
"The ways in which Dori Kaufman has empowered the women around her are countless and invaluable, but above all else Dori strives to help women feel assured of who we are and our place in this world.
Dori is an advocator for us women to learn to trust ourselves, our voices, and the decisions we make. She has empowered women to remember that the confidence we have in ourselves gives us the strength we need to grow, learn, and inspire others. Society has instilled in women to constantly doubt our abilities, our strengths, and our intelligence. But Dori is the antithesis of all these beliefs. Dori is the constant reminder to women that these doubts don't come from truth, but rather the insecurities thrust upon women from young ages."
Dori has truly shaped us into who we are, and continues to pour a countless amount of her time into mentoring and advocating for the younger generations. Whether providing a fun and safe workspace or helping give the tools for growth and success, Dori has planted seeds of growth, empowerment and compassion that bloom daily in her garden of community.
Let's please take a moment to celebrate the legacy and impact of one of our amazing leaders! And check out page 80 of the latest San Diego Magazine to
