amplifying Minority Voices in the vegan community
The plant based movement is for everyone.
The plant based movement has unfortunately become white washed on social media, which does reflect the rich diversity within the plant based community.
Amplifying minority voices and ensuring that veganism is an inclusive space for anyone, of any socioecomic background, is imperative.
The history of plant based eating is culturally rich. Veganism, in its earliest iteration, is thought to have originated in ancient India and Eastern Meditterenean societies.Plant based eating is deeply present in black history: we highly recommend reading The Eater’s feature on plant based eating during the Black Diaspora by Amirah Mercer.
