Executive chef Angela Dimayuga of Mission Chinese Food is the latest to voice her feelings of distaste for the Trumps and their rhetoric, in epic fashion.

On her Instagram account, Dimayuga published a message sent by a freelance reporter from IvankaTrump.com, requesting an interview with the chef.

In it, the writer praised Dimayuga’s accomplishments, and asked if she would be willing to do an interview for the site. The reporter wrote that the intent was to spotlight Dimayuga’s work “as a strong female entrepreneur” stating that IvankaTrump.com is a “non-political platform of empowerment for modern working women.

Below is her response in its entirety:

“Hi Adi,

Thank you for thinking of me. I’m glad you are a fan of my work so much that you want to provide more visibility for my career to inspire “other working women.” However, I’m for women who actually empower other women.

I don’t believe that IvankaTrump.com is truly “a non-political platform of empowerment for [women]”. So long as the name Trump is involved, it is political and frankly, an option for the IvankaTrump.com business to make a profit.

I don’t see anything empowering about defunding Planned Parenthood, barring asylum from women refugees, rolling back safeguards for equal pay, and treating POC/LGBT and the communities that support these groups like second class citizens.

 As a queer person of color and daughter of immigrant parents I am not interested in being profiled as an aspirational figure for those that support a brand and a President that slyly disparages female empowerment. Sharing my story with a brand and family that silences our same voices is futile.

Thank you for the consideration.”
