Sistah Vegan: black female vegans speak on food, identity, health, and society

There is a tradition in the African-American community (and some others) known as “Testifying.” When you have found the answer, you are expected to share it with the community - to tell the story of your personal journey from faithless to faithful, from sick to healed or from oppression to freedom.

In her book, “Sistah Vegan,” A. Breeze Harper collects a series of articles by black women about their journeys - having switched to a plant-based diet. Most of them are first-person testimonies; all of them make great food for thought.
