Rawish

Taneea Yarborough and her husband James went vegan after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2018, then breast cancer a year later. While she was undergoing treatment, the former school principal opened Gangster Vegan in Baltimore, helping to bring healthy plant-based food to communities that don’t always have easy access to it. Now cancer-free, Yarborough and her husband are preparing to open a spinoff vegan spot in DC, where they live. While Gangster Vegan is strictly raw, RAWish will incorporate some cooked ingredients (like toast or granola).
