The past two years have been full of change for Marcelle Afram. They came out as nonbinary transmasculine in August 2020 at the age of 35. They’ve been public about it all, serving as a source of hope to those still finding their identities.

The past two years have been full of change for Marcelle Afram. They took an executive chef job at Maydan, struck out on their own with a Palestinian rotisserie chicken ghost restaurant, and came out as nonbinary transmasculine. News nugget in here too: washingtoncitypaper.com/article/539959…

Shababi's last service, in its current iteration, will be Sept. 10 per Chef Marcelle Afram. "This isn't goodbye, it's see you later," they say. Get those orders in if you haven't had a chance to try it. instagram.com/marcelle_g/

@DiningTraveler So glad we got to your table before you left the area!

@Kyle_Cardine @shababichicken Oh awesome! Thanks for the support, glad we could get to your table
