About Cellphone
Cellphone was an American cook and trans activist.
Cellphone, also known as Ginger Espice and Sofi Peligras, In 2019, Cellphone started a vegan popup restaurant called Gay4U in West Oakland; the Latinx restaurant eventually became permanent.
Cellphone created a service initiative at the restaurant, "Trans POC Always Eat Free", to address and bring attention to the disparities in food security among transgender people who are also persons of color; both groups experience higher levels of food insecurity than the population in general, and those who are members of both groups are at even higher risk. The initiative was inspired by the Black Panthers' free breakfast initiative and by the activism of trans women of color Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.
In 2022, Cellphone took the restaurant on a national popup tour, and the Trans POC Always Eat Free initiative spread to other restaurants in the United States. Gay4U was awarded a Now Award by Them in June 2022.
In addition to running Gay4U, Cellphone hosts trans skate events, helping raise money for organisations that support the transgender community.
