Collectively, these activists are de-colonising their bodies and minds via whole-foods veganism. By kicking junk-food habits, the more than thirty contributors all show the way toward longer, stronger and healthier lives. Suffering from type-2 diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure and overweight need not be the way women of colour are doomed to be victimised and live out their mature lives. There are healthy alternatives. SISTAH VEGAN is not about preaching veganism or vegan fundamentalism. Rather, the book is about how a group of black female vegans perceive nutrition, food, ecological sustainability, health and healing, animal rights, parenting, social justice, spirituality, hair care, race, gender-identification, feminism and liberation that all go against the (refined and bleached) grain of our dysfunctional society. Thought-provoking for the identification and dismantling of environmental racism, ecological devastation and other social injustices, SISTAH VEGAN is an in-your-face handbook for our time. It calls upon all of us to make radical changes for the betterment of ourselves, our planet and - by extension - everyone.
