Today, we are thrilled to be chatting with food justice activist, and plant-powered content creator Destiny DeJesus! Destiny chats about her motivation behind going plant-based and the eventual connection with the ethics of veganism. We discuss the importance of building a welcoming and safe community, why food justice is a critical component in vegan advocacy, the need to elevate the voices of BIPOC activists in the collective liberation movement, and more!

Inspired by the work of organizations like APEX Advocacy, the Food Empowerment Project, Veggie Mijas, AfroVegan Society, and Black Veg Society, Destiny brings her skills and expertise to make nourishing, plant-based options available in underserved, predominantly BIPOC communities in Texas through her project, Texas Eats Green.

We hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation with the wonderful Destiny DeJesus!
