Rheema Calloway and Ronnishia Johnson are The Vegan Hood Chefs, a food truck and catering business that turns Creole classics into healthy vegan offerings in the city of San Francisco. The duo are determined to feed disenfranchised communities, particularly Black and brown populations, with accessible vegan food that tastes good, like their oyster mushroom po’ boys, hearts of palm crab cakes, and more. Rheema and Ronnishia, both longtime activists and organizers, are still learning about veganism but are inspired by the positive health benefits of eating plant-based to revolutionize nutrition in the hood.
