Q: When did you first go Vegan?
A: 2012
Q: How did you feel when you made the decision to go Vegan?

A: Light (like not heavy after meals) energized and regular

A: My mom, dad and sister are all vegan now (divorced too). So very easy with my family. I think it’s been so long my friends are amazing and everyone can enjoy a good curry. It’s hard for some to understand why or for me to be given the opportunity to share my why without forcing it down their throat. I wish they knew how cruel the dairy industry is among other CAFOs.
Q: What's it like being Vegan in Vancouver?
A: In my younger day pre child and COVID, I went to so many vegan events. I was a social vegan foodie for sure. Knowing Lindsay from piquant marketing helped too! I met lots of vegans in person or virtually on Instagram where I now have a solid community.
