It’s been awhile guys. I’ve been enjoying South Africa and indulging in some awesome raw and vegan cuisine. Will post soon about some great places you can check out if you ever venture to Cape Town. If you are in South Africa, stay tuned for a book signing this month! Just in case you missed it here’s the link to the feature by #BlackVegansRock & AFROPUNK. Check them out on facebook they feature some awesome vegans who speak a bit about their journey.

My adventure as a vegan started out as an informal student of health trying to absorb all I could about plant-based living to become the best version of me. That process has surprisingly led to me now serving as a teacher or guide for others who are looking for inspiration on their own paths to optimal health.
It’s been almost fifteen years since I first decided to cut out all meat and animal products from my diet. At the time, I just didn’t like the way I felt eating meat and I was also lactose intolerant. While in college I was still vegan but eating a lot of junk food and getting sick a lot. I had a cousin who was a raw foodist who inspired me to consider going raw. Years later, my skin started to break out horribly and my energy was at an all time low. I remembered the raw vegan diet, and also started to learn a lot informally about holistic health from the Rastafarians and healers in my hood in Brooklyn.
