Go get it. We are a growing group. Love the video. I have sustained a meatless diet for three years and mostly vegan for two. I will consume dairy and nonflesh animal products if I am at a birthday party, wedding or funeral. But refuse to pay for it or eat it in my home. Peace! Keep spreading the word!
I'm late to the lifestyle and didn't start until I was 52, so 2 years ago but I never realized how bad I felt until I gave up dairy. I had been vegetarian for years prior. I wish more of our people would embrace the lifestyle instead of making jokes or thinking it's weird to not eat animals or animal byproducts.
I need energy. Eating like white and Asian women is not gonna get it. Weighing 130 pounds is unhealthy. Not to be disrespectful but every vegetarian and plant based person I know is skinny, weak, tired, and old looking. I know a vegetarian who's 60 but he looks 80. His shirts don't fit like they use to and he's very weak.There should be a balance. Eat sum animals for a few days and then eat healthy for the next few days. That strict vegetarian diet can be just as destructive for ones healthy as much as a strict greazy food diet. Staying in the middle lane is the best way to go.
@@NYC359 I definitely am not 130 pounds but I totally agree that you need balance. Some people it doesn't work for and some people do amazingly with it. Like anything else, you have to listen to your body and give it what it needs. Animal products didn't agree with my body, to the point of me having random bouts of diarrhea or stomach pains, which my doctor told me were normal. Haven't had the issue since I gave up animal products so I won't be going back, ever.
Veganism is not about the race or skin color, diet, but a way to stop cruelty against animals. PERIOD
I believe what you've mentioned is what helps people STAY vegan. Remember the suffering and oppression of animals is important.
I could never wear a shirt like that. 😵💫😵💫😵💫 like what? If your friends think only white people are vegan that’s their ignorance.
Annette Larkin was the woman that inspired me.
You can eat lots of vegan African dishes
I'm a middle aged, not-skinny, white woman from Detroit, and it has distressed me to see how alienating our movement is to people of color, whose culinary culture is actually more open to plant-based eating and principles of compassion and egalitarianism. I'm so happy that veganism is starting the drift up to the mainstream in every culture in North America, and all of us who have succeeded at it need to make it more accessible to everyone. ThanksForPosting!
I’m vegan for 27 years and I’m 56 years old and activist here in New York City ❤❤❤😊
Super video & to the point.
Great video and you are so beautiful!
All I care about is people going vegan, I don’t care who I don’t care how I don’t care why, all I care about is for animals to be left alone, because this is about the animals, not about us. That said, the black community has the highest percentage of vegans of any race/ethnicity in the US, so it’s a shame that we don’t see more black vegans represented in the mainstream media.
Veganism is not just for skinny white girls anymore ???
Yeah imagine If a white guy or girl would have said : Veganism is not just for fat black girls anymore? They'd have said it's offensive and racist...

mmms dat jasmine. beautiful intelligent black women. yes please!! :D
ya good to see this diet style is becoming common now.
good karma...
You see mostly white people in American vegan documentaries and on youtube because most Americans happen to be white. No prejudice is intended, and alot of vegan influencers are trying to include more diverse faces in their interviews and documentaries. There have been black vegan authorities and influencers for some time, like Dr. Milton Mills or Dr. Kim Williams.
Also, traditional African-American foods are alot easier to make vegan than most traditional white foods (and when they are made vegan, they often just amount to "vegan junk food" that isn't particularly healthy). Plant-based eating is alot harder for the average white person to wrap their head around, after all, the modern fad for mass-produced meat-based diets has its origins in 19th century Britain and America (with the discovery of macronutrients and the "nutrification" of food, to borrow a term from Michael Pollan). So that might be why white people are perceived as spending more time talking about it, because the concept is foreign to much of our culture, and must be explained.
In every city in America, there are grocery stores that are full of cheap, fresh fruits and vegetables.
...There is no global warming.
I’m sorry but veganism is not the answer. Locavorianism is. You can fry flour and make it into a hot chicken sandwich all the hell you want to but that doesn’t change the fact that you advocate in many instances, maybe not you personally but a lot of other vegans for people eating stuff that is not native to where they live. The best thing for the planet is to eat a diet that is indigenous to where you live that requires as a little movement of food as possible because that causes high levels of fossil fuel emissions. Trying to tell somebody that lives near the Arctic Circle that they need to eat a 10 banana smoothies is asinine. Vegans need to do better. We all need to do better with eating food that is available within a short radius of where we live. That is what’s better for the planet and for us not adhering to some sort of dogma that makes us import food into places that it doesn’t belong.
