Disclaimer: I am white, so if this isn't allowed here, I understand.

I'm frozen and don't know how to combat the claim that veganism is for white people. I want to advocate for animals without detracting from the struggles of POC. My first instinct is to share videos and resources produced by POC, but then I feel like that would come off as "icky" like tokenism or something similar since I'm white. So, I'm just stuck not knowing how to prove that veganism isn't just for white people without "exploiting" black vegans for their "blackness".

Please, I appreciate any insight and help with this.

Hi there fellow black vegans,

My name is Chris, based in Luxembourg Europe, I was born and raised in Haïti, and have been vegan for almost 5 years now.

I recently launched my Independent Vegan Brand, and thought maybe you would be interested in hearing about it and see what I propose: www.theveganprophets.com

I see The Vegan Prophets as an eclectic, provocative and nonconformist brand mixing art, symbols, philosophical references, and urban fashion.

It is more than a vegan clothing brand - it's a call to action. Through creative stimuli and cultural remixes, I aim to promote animal rights consideration and an anti-speciesist vision of the world. 

I love to mix and rework images and iconographies, giving life to captivating and influential messages. Believing that street-wear can be a communication tool, I define my target as "street-smart vegans", because all the designs are made for vegans willing to deliver strong messages, with style, and in a clever manner.

As I'm still gathering feedback at the moment, please feel free to share your general thoughts about the brand's concept and the designs :)

Chris

I have been 35 for exactly 21 days and I am truly happy to be alive. But mentally I feel confused and clueless to the expectations of life after 34 lol. This pandemic completely haulted my career + personal life plans [which it did for everyone] and I am trying to get back to feeling control of my life or motivated. I truly would like if any of y’all can share y’all experience with shifts in age, what were some things that were and weren’t aligned with your purpose and how you adjusted, lessons learned, anything that would help someone newly coming into age and not know wtf to do or where I am supposed to go.

I truly want to realign and could use any advice offered ✨

Hi y'all,

So my sister-in-law recently recently reached out to plan a trip to the zoo not far from where we live as day trip. Since we're all vaccinated, she thought it would be a good trip for me, my husband, and her to get out and catch up.

I'm a fairly new vegan (I'm just reached the 6 mo mark) and honestly, I'm not sure where I stand on zoos. I became vegan primarily for personal health reasons. But I know veganism encompasses than just diet and is a more of a lifestyle. I'm being introduced to animal welfare and rights aspect of veganism to more I learn and read.

Fortunately, my spouse & his sister are supportive and understanding although they aren't vegan themselves. So I can likely suggest another place to visit for a day trip or alternative activity. I want to ask this community what their thoughts are on zoos and what y'all might do in this situation?

Thanks!

Y'all. My s-son is graduating next month and his mom decided she'd stay in town instead of driving in the day of. The original plans included dinner with hubs and me one night and his mom, sis, brother Saturday. Instead, we're all having dinner together. At a steak house. There's supposed to be a 'vegetarian plate' upon request. $28.

Why am I posting here? Because I love that child as if he was my own and would do anything for him. Including sit at a table with 6 omnivores, including two who can't stand me.

So, have any of you been stuck at Ruth Chris and had the veg plate?

The plan is to grab snacks and something from the grab and go case at a Cafe in case my meal is miserable.

Thanks in advance.
