Aims to empower and inspire women Her mission is to make meat and huge butcher's knives less intimidating for women. "I had to build some confidence with meat," said Teodoro's friend Yeemay Su, who works the counter at the butcher shop. "When you know that it's grass-fed quality, then you start to really appreciate and enjoy more of it." "I want to inspire other women to really get into the industry, it's an amazing industry," said Teodoro. "You see the animal raising, they get to you and you present it so people can enjoy." Teodoro is proving that women belong at the butcher block, not just buying the meat but breaking it down themselves. "Being a butcher, that's a very rewarding profession, I'd say, we need more women doing that," said Teodoro.
