Early in 2012 I started reaching out to vegan friends on twitter to ask them to share their testimonials. My hope was that by getting vegans to share their stories we could educate and inspire others and give people first hand accounts to replace perceptions or stereotypes. I’m incredibly grateful to those that have participated. Their stories speak for themselves! If you enjoy the series please let us know!

I was fortunate to be raised a vegetarian, in a family which was and still is very health conscious. I was rarely sick growing up, which I believe had a lot to do with the healthy diet I was eating; it consisted of mainly foods grown in my parent’s garden. I didn’t start to experiment with a fully plant based, vegan diet until I was 21. I read the book “Skinny Bitch” which made me question why I was eating dairy. Think about it…Cow’s milk is meant for baby cows, not humans and why are we drinking another species’ milk as adults?! No other species on the planet does this! Soon after this, I was dairy and then egg free.
