National Chicken Lady Day

National Chicken Lady Day is celebrated on November 4th each year. This day honors Dr. Marthenia “Tina” Dupree, who worked for 12 years with the second-largest chicken restaurant in the world as the Director of Community Relations and Training, earning her the nickname “The Chicken Lady.” Her efforts significantly contributed to the growth of the business and its outreach to the community.

During her tenure, Dr. Dupree was responsible for helping the company grow from 75 to over 500 units. She not only helped build the business but also fostered community engagement and education, leaving a lasting impact on those she worked with. After her career with the chicken restaurant, she went on to become a motivational speaker and trainer, focusing on empowering people and helping them improve their communication skills, professional development, and leadership abilities.

National Chicken Lady Day is not just a celebration of Dr. Dupree's contributions; it's also a day to recognize and appreciate individuals who have made significant impacts in the food industry and their communities. It's a day for businesses to honor employees who go above and beyond in their roles, and for individuals to show gratitude to those who serve them in their favorite eateries.
