“Let’s just stop under-serving the many people who serve us,” she said.

“It was my main means of income for over 10 years. I was a white woman who had certain privileges allowed to me and I worked with very reasonable restaurant owners. But I did, like every woman in this room, deal with incredible amounts of harassment from customers and co-workers. It was a very routine way of life.”

She urged Governor Andrew Cuomo to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers, which is currently between $7.50 and $8.65.
