Description
As a vegan, do you ever feel like you're living in a parallel universe? If so, you're not alone! We interview vegans from around the globe who, like you, are living lives of integrity and compassion, with an eye toward justice. Through their personal stories, you'll come to that you're not an outlier; in fact, you're part of an entire posse of individuals who aren't just keeping the peace, they're creating it through their food choices and beyond. You won't be saddling up, but you're in for the ride of your life! Welcome to the Vegan Posse.
