It is a true honor to be able to showcase ten strong and resilient female entrepreneurs on the Mother Road Market campus. Each day, these women are inspiring the next generation of girls to follow their dreams, stay true to themselves and stand up for what they believe.

In 2022, LTFF celebrated this milestone by continuing our work through Mother Road Market, Kitchen 66, and Shops at Mother Road Market while supporting the development of Tulsa Market District.

We are so excited to be welcoming 21 eager food entrepreneurs to the Kitchen 66 and Cocina 66 Fall Launch Program where they will gain practical experience, sales training and access to commercial kitchen space to develop culinary skills in a commercial environment.

We are thrilled to welcome our new Chief Communications Officer, Katy Hall, to the LTFF team! One month in and we are already benefitting from her experience and leadership.

In 2021, Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation worked with community leader Elian Hurtado, UMA Tulsa, and our own program, Kitchen 66, to collaborate on a new project called Cocina 66. This pilot program was a translated Spanish version of the Kitchen 66 Launch Program, which has been helping food entrepreneurs in Tulsa launch their concepts since 2016.

Our Kitchen 66 team is excited to welcome another new face in 2022, Karissa Smith! This native Tulsan is ready to promote Tulsa FOOD with her wealth of knowledge in the culinary industry.

What started out as a small pop-up in Kendall Whittier and The Vault has grown into a popular retail kiosk inside Mother Road Market. We sat down with Esther Wright, owner of Hilo de Amor, to talk about her retail journey and how she ultimately started her business to help others.
