Episode 185 - The Black Vegan Experience

With over 20 years of teaching, mentoring, tutoring, and counseling experience, Vonettia Calloway is committed to empowering children and adults. As a woman of great faith, she was given the vision to co-create The Black Vegan Experience. The Black Vegan Experience is a multicultural educational conference, celebration of African-American ancestry, and networking event where Black professionals and practitioners address the medical concerns in the Black community and remove the stereotypes attached to veganism and Black culture. It takes place quarterly in different US cities and is funded by The Committee of Consciousness, also founded by Vonettia. Vonettia is a wonderful example of Love in action on the planet. In this episode we learn about Vonettia’s inspiring faith-based and gratitude-centered life, the biblical roots of veganism, and how her vision is unfolding. We also mention the documentary, They’re Trying to Kill Us, in relation to food deserts and the disproportionately high rate of chronic disease within the Americans of Color communities. theblackveganexperience.com committeeofconsciousness.org https://www.theyretryingtokillus.com/
