Questions about Veganism?

I am putting out this post to find out if anyone on here who isn’t vegan and is thinking of going vegan has any questions about the lifestyle, transition, etc. Whether it has to do with finding local vegan establishments in your area or questions on how it will affect your social life. It could be about anything! Just ask! Talk to you all soon!

YouTube UPDATE🎥✨ Hey family! I thought I would press pause for a moment to update you guys on what's been going on with Doose! I think recording these updates are so beneficial for growth because it allows you to see how long you've come and how far you have to go! I want to thank all of you for your continued support, and remember to always stick to your passions and stay positive! The universe will always provide if you put forth the effort. See you in the next post!

. Happy ✨CARIBBEAN🌴 HERITAGE MONTH!✨ . For those of you who do not know, the month of June has officially been dubbed as Caribbean Heritage Month! The push for national recognition of Caribbean immigrants began in 1999 under the Clinton presidency. Caribbeans have contributed SO much to all sectors of society and that should not go unnoticed! It wasn't until June 5, 2005, after the bill was reintroduced and signed by Bush, making the resolution official.. . I was honored to share my bit of Caribbean heritage with Maggi from #Cluelesscurl among other beautiful women representing the other different islands! As you all know, I LOVE incorporating Caribbean accents in my cooking/baking. It's what helps to keep me connected to my culture! . Check out the full article here! -> http://www.cluelesscurl.com/2017/06/caribbean-heritage-month.html?m=1 . . What country do YOU represent!? Leave your flags in the comment section! 🇭🇹🇻🇨🇯🇲🇬🇩🇬🇾🇧🇧🇵🇷🇩🇲🇨🇺🇩🇴🇹🇹 . . #caribbeans #caribbeanvegan #caribbeanamerican #caribbean #june2017 #represent #haitian #immigrant #westindies #afrocaribbean #haiti #jamaica #trinidad #stvg #barbados #dominca #guyana #grenada #caribbeangyal #blackfoodie #blavity #blavityfoodie
