Rashad Frazier - Chef & Founder of Yoshi Jenkins/Camp Yoshi Get After It PDX

Hear banker-turned-chef and caterer Rashad Frazier talk about growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina and his experiences getting into nature as a child, seeing first hand the ups and downs of the restaurant his father owned, getting a football scholarship to Howard University and--to this day--how much he values the culture and networks of Howard and HBCUs, living in New York City as a banker for years before getting laid off led him to explore other options, how dating his future wife influenced his early years of cooking, the creation and meaning of his high-end niche catering brand Yoshi Jenkins, moving to PDX and the subsequent pandemic that forced him back to the drawing board, his love of the outdoors and camping and some the experiences he's had as a person of color amongst largely white user groups, the creation of Camp Yoshi and why he feels it's important to specifically provide outdoor opportunities and services to Black folks, and much more!
