Celebrating Black Culture and Veganism
The Meet Up LA was founded by the owners of two local Black-owned businesses: Ashley Crawford of Veginning Vegan and Chanel Goodson of Vegan AF food truck, who have known each other for years and have crossed paths in the vegan pop-up space frequently. The two decided to create this event to bring together the local community in support of Black-owned businesses and to celebrate Black culture alongside veganism.
