My fam keeps shading me for being vegan. I wont stop tho. Im doing whats best for me and i dont care what anyone else thinks. #vegan
you go girl!
I had major problems with my family, too. Hang in there and live your life the way you want to. THey will someday come around. Mine is starting to.
Same here
fabulous queen good for u keep it up
Yeah my friends shade me too shit annoying and they less fit than me shit.
I'm 55 years old and just became vegan last year. My health issues have pretty much gone away (pain, inflammation, hypertension), my skin cleared up, and I have a lot more energy. I've had a lot of trouble with depression and anxiety, and the vegan lifestyle has lifted that as well. I have more confidence and focus.
Thats awesome
Anxiety will pretty much disappear on vegan diet. It’s a meat disorder, like depression, and a lot of other stuff. It’s pretty amazing and scary, because you realize you have the power over your own body. Yes it’s true.....
Gypsy Rovrette I’m 54 and went vegan six months ago and it has made such a huge difference for me as well. My peri menopause was out of control and since going Vegan I feel fabulous ❤️
I'm 56. Looking forward to my 1 year vegan-iversity. Feeling SOOO much better. Keep on inspiring us to live healthy.
That's amazing, well done! ... I'm 56 and have just started too .. wish I'd have started earlier but hey better late than never!😉🙌🏻
My constipation gone. My weight became normal. My hypothyroidism cured. I am more energetic and I am proud of it. I am more compassionate.
Simantini Sinha congratulations to you! Love that it lifted you all around!
How long did it take for your thyroid to be cured? I'm hoping for the same :)
Totally relate to you with constipation thing.
I'm hoping that it regulate my period and make them lighter. Anyone experienced this ?
@Shitead O’ Conner, eat a lot of green veggies, kale, spinach, broccoli are all great choices, they help the thyroid work like it should. Started walking everywhere which is great exercise and great for he body overall. I also had hypothyroidism for a year, started eating healthy and 1 year later it normalized out so no longer need medication.
I’m on a journey of becoming a vegetarian , it just baby steps. Then later vegan.
Stop bullshitin and go vegan for like 10 days. I would recommend giving up dairy and fried foods before giving up meat.
Good luck! Even a small to moderate shift will help and if everyone did that it would be amazing.
@@justbreathe8835 since when are fried foods not vegan?...
Just Breathe just know procrastination is a thief of time
@@mariaaleksandraantuszewicz4933 well if its fried meat or anything with dairy/animal products its not vegan of course. But fried foods in general arent healthy for our bodies.
I cured my depression (without anti - depressants) and lost 60 pounds when I went vegan! Best decision I've ever made in my life. My skin is so clear that it glows now and people always ask me what foundation I'm wearing. I don't even wear foundation only lipstick! Also, my blood pressure went down tremendously and I no longer get tired because I have so much energy!! I also see a big change in when I workout too. I feel amazing when I workout and run, I can actually complete a whole workout now and run for a longer duration without breathing like I'm dying! 😂 Funny but It's true! I was so overweight and had zero energy. I seriously love everything little change going vegan has done to my body inside and out. Life is amazing!!!!
I should also mention that I have not been sick in 3 years. I was vegetarian for a while before I went vegan too. No flu, no cold, no allergies.... nothing. Go vegan! Just try it out for a week and see what happens!
Thank you SO MUCH @SoJeanGarbo for sharing your story! It has truly struck a cord with me this evening because I for one can relate. With that said, I will be looking into how I can transition into becoming a vegan and better my health on a whole spirit, soul, and body. Please continue to share your story with others because you will never know who it will impact greatly. Have a lovely day! ☺
SoJeanGarbo awesome! so inspiring
I absolutely love this... thanks for sharing!!!
FOOD IS MEDICINE! Thank you for sharing (:
Truly inspiring! By sharing the story of how veganism changed your life, you are also changing the life of others. Rooting for you!!!
My health has improved 100%! I almost died...down to 98 pounds, and no one knew why. I did some research, went vegan, and got better. Turned out, I'm allergic to animal products!
That is amazing! I'm glad you're doing well!!
being a sista how do eat at the family picnic without hurting the cooks feelings?
Betty Horn Great you fount the answer, no cheese either?
Frederick Jones no cheese. Dairy is the worst for me.
I never considered that I could be allergic to animal products but my body reacts badly to most animal products hmmmm something to look into
Things that happened to me when I went vegan: My skin cleared up, I lost around 10 pounds, my cramps weren’t as bad, I felt happier and lighter, and I became much more aware of the food I was putting in my body. Overall I just felt better
Yes I noticed I don't get cramps anymore either and my skin is almost perfect
Same here aI haven’t had any menstrual cramps after switching to only plant based nutrition.
I used to cramp so bad I would lay in bed for first 1-2 days of my period. I literally don’t cramp anymore. Very occasionally I’ll get a little twinge of discomfort, but nothing I can’t get through the day with or have to take meds for. I used to take ibuprofen like candy for cramps but now not necessary! 💕
Hi there,
If not already doing so, i do encourage to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it).
Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death.

I've been vegan for a month. I've lost 7 pounds without even counting a calorie or working out. I had an exema patch behind my ear that went away and my skin in general is clearing up.
Sleeping better at night for physical and mental reasons was one of my favourite lasting benefits.
Amen to that!
Just stopped animal products the Monday after easter, and the better sleep is what I noticed almost immediately. My energy level went up too.
Oh my goodness... same, never even realized it until now
Truth. I noticed my sleeping changed as well.
My boyfriend and I did Veganuary together and it changed our lives! My boyfriend has always been a massive carnivore, but his digestion has always suffered immensely because of it. He had no idea what was causing his digestion issues, even the doctors couldn’t work it out when he ended up in hospital with bowel bleeding. 2 weeks into Veganuary and I kid you not, his digestion completely cleared up and it changed his whole perspective on food and what he should/shouldn’t be eating! He’s gone from being really ignorant about veganism and slating it, to embracing it and raving about it to people!!!
Holy crap I think I just figured out why my bf has digestive problems. Thank you!!!
💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚
J E - I cannot help myself, was that an intended pun? I have lived with digestive issues and it is no fun at all. I have found smoothies which I include 2 TB Chia seeds, and 2TB of Flax seeds, then the spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. Start with smaller doses of the Chia and Flax seeds as it does take the body time to adjust. I love my smoothies with Almond Milk, blue berries, mangoes and some nuts. It has helped me more than I ever thought possible. May the both of you find some solutions which work well for the both of you. Having a partner in life makes it more fun. So enJOY 😊 and best of luck on your new journey. Also, if you can afford a Vitamix I cannot say enough about ours. You can find them on-line refurbished and they are a great company to work with. We are always amazed at just how well is works and helps with the digesitive process. 🌻🌞🌿🌴 Heather sending sunshine from Arizona.
It’s because we have long digestive tracts which means were meant to be vegans herbivores anyway if you look in nature all the carnivores have short digestive tracts we’re not even biologically set up to eat meat
she absolutely glows. I've been off the animals for 4 months now and it feels like the best decision I've ever made
"I'm still the same person fundamentally--I'm just a better version of myself" ♥♥♥
I love that you emphasized that the spectrum of food you eat actually increased! I feel like that isn't stressed enough but its SO true. People see veganism as restrictive, but I've tried so many new and amazing foods in the last year and my whole taste pallet has changed!
eat kindly yes I'm mainly plant based and a picker eater before and now I eat such a variety of food.
I had the same experience!
I agree
Preach!

Before I want vegan I was a diabetic and I always Felt like crap but now that I am vegan I am not a diabetic and I don’t have to take any medication I have so much Energy now and I feel great I am vegan for life
My menstrual cramps decreased a ton and my skin really cleared up when I went vegan 6 months ago. I've also managed to maintain my weight while marathon training which is a very huge success.
Completing 1 year next week! It regulated my digestive system, cleared my daughters eczema, and husband no longer suffers from severe migraines. 🙌🏽🔥 will never ever go back.
I recommend a plant-based diet to my patients everyday! Animal foods are extremely inflammatory and cause a lot of stress on the body. So happy you have been enjoying the benefits of being vegan! ❤️

So sweet and non- preachy. I love your approach!
Thank you so much!
Love your channel too!
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Very pleasant. New subbie and looking forward to seeing more videos. I want to go vegan so badly. Help!!!
Totally agree! No one likes to be told what to do / forced into a new lifestyle. But the way this is so pleasantly put and positive, makes for a feel good vlog :)
Love your channel. You have a great Energy and your smile Is Infectious! Thanks for the great meal ideas and coming across as informative and never pushy 👌
I noticed in a few of your other videos, and you just confirmed my feeling. I really dig that you live and promote your life style without shaming everyone else. Like your family I've been watching the vegans around me eating better and feeling better. So I started digging around RUclips for info and felt meat shamed by most of what I've seen until now. My wife and I are trying to clean up our life styles so I started by cutting out 90% of my meat intake. After a few weeks all of the swelling in my ankles slowing went away. Your channel is the dopest.

I'm going vegan because I have compassion for all living things. We can not possibly willingly kill animals but have cats and dogs, or have fish but eat other kinds ..i also want to help environment animals are apart of our environment. I deal with terrible Anxiety and depression. I've been vegan for about 3 weeks im going to keep pushing forward. Nice spirit very geniune.
How is it going
@@bryanpyoungking4916 going well I'm more vegetarian now but I will go back to vegan
@@foreverloved12341 awesome
My health has been the most drastic thing that has changed...I have Lupus and Sjogren’s syndrome and was facing starting a course of chemotherapy drugs to reign my immune system in. I went vegan in February of 2016 and my body has slowly healed and my doctor has slowly removed my mess and decreased dosages in the meds that have remained. I hope that in the coming months/years, the remaining meds will be removed. Even living with disease, I’m healthier than I’ve ever been.
La Fuji Mama inspiring. Congratulation!!!
I also have both of the autoimmune dieases. I want to go Vegan but cant seem to get started. I'm want to badly. What was your hurlers ? We both have Lupus, so you understand my issues. Did your energy increase?
calif4lif 1Love Yes, my energy increased, my joint pain started to decrease, my headaches got fewer and further between, I started to sleep better...it was amazing! I just started to feel better in general...in ways I hadn’t even realized I hadn’t been feeling well! I haven’t had a true flare up in almost two years. I’ll have a few symptoms occasionally now, but they’re mild and if I’m vigilant about how clean I eat and making sure I get enough sleep, they always disappear. It’s not easy at first, but when you start to feel good, it becomes easier psychologically, because your brain will start to associate feeling sick and hurting with eating those foods.
calif4lif 1Love To get started, if you’re struggling with going all in at once, maybe take it steps. I recommend getting rid of dairy first, because that’s addicting. When you’re comfortable with that, then start removing other things one at a time. There are so many delicious substitutes that can help you along in your transition! Seriously, the magic of raw cashews and how they can be used as a substitute for so many dairy things? They got me through some of the tough days!
La Fuji Mama oh, wow the joint pain is horrible as you know. Thank you for the information and inspiration. I will start with dairy.
I also, have guilt feel of not cooking for my family. Although my guy doesnt mind.
I have to take control of my health as much as pissible. Thank you!
That's awesome! I have fibromyalgia and I have also noticed that my health is better now than it was before I went vegan. Even though I got sick about a year into being vegan (extreme stress flipped the fibro switch), my labs are the best they have ever been. And now that I'm more whole-foods based, I'm feeling even better. I don't think being vegan is a cure, but every little bit of extra energy counts. And I also believe in taking care of what parts of my health I can control.
No more allergies!!!!!! FREEDOM!
I also have better sleep cycles and monthly cycles. My need for deodorant has dramatically decreased too...that was surprising!
I still struggle with things like cookies and cake, but I'm a work in progress. :-)
Opal Leighvard that's the one thing I miss when I was vegan...not having to wear deorderant. It was pretty cool not worrying about any order.
Opal Leighvard The change in allergies is REAL! I didn't even realize it was pollen season until I heard someone mention it. I haven't had any problems!
There's actually vegan cookies out there. They taste just as good as others. It's always good to make them yourself and add your own organic flavours in there
disclaimer im not completely vegan yet (pretty much everything but eggs is gone at this point lol) but the deodorant thing is so true!!! like i used to sweat really bad lowkey when i ate meat and dairy but now i dont so much :)
Opal Leighvard sameee cake is hard for me to give up 😂😂
I just transitioned to being vegan. Its been 1 week & I already feel soooo much better & i also lost 9lbs which is amazing because i am also on a weight loss journey. I feel happier & so much healthier. I cant believe its only been a week!
In the last six months of following a vegan diet/ plant-based diet, my skin is looking fantastic; my stomach issues went away, I lost 10 pounds, and I feel more energetic. Because I feel stronger, I work out more often and my mind is sharper. My daughter is a vegan, and she’s looking fantastic as well. Thanks to her I have adapted this lifestyle. Thank you for posing this video. Support is needed when you’re just starting.
When it comes to spreading veganism the age old adage of, _you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar_ really applies. Being the stereotypical haughty vegan doesn't work and I think you're a great example of that. Oh and btw I love the countdown animation. Very pretty and crisp.
Your spirit is so beautiful. I see you. 😊
Omni EyeAm you are also so beautiful
Right! I see her soul
Omni EyeAm I feel that.. eating live foods 💯
Don't think I have ever seen anyone so immaculately put together. Gorgeous and radiant!
And intelligence and personality!
I love this comment “ I see you “ ❤️ sweet
The digestive point is jumping out at me. My stomach always hurts. So this video is impactful.
Great video!! 👊 I’ve been vegan for 15 years and I just turned 40, looking and feeling 25! I also beat MS, allergies and hypothyroidism and haven’t had as much as an aspirin in a decade. For me it’s all about the animals, I see all this as a bonus! 💚🌱
For me going vegan has made me be conscious on what I put my money towards and how I'm contributing to the earth and its inhabitants.
Would love to see a vegan skincare video! I’ve been vegan for almost 2 years now and slowly incorporating it into skincare, cosmetics, clothing etc
Yes!
SweetPotatoSoul thank you beautiful!!

Iyda, your hair is gorgeous!!!
I so appreciate your commentary.
I've now been Vegan for 10 years and a Vegetarian for 20 years. I'm holistic and mostly organic. So my journey was quite different than yours, as it's more accepted now and more of a variety. However, there are too many changes to name. Hands down the second best decision I've ever made.
The most impactful changes were: I was able to cure Lupus and I'm a 2-time cancer survivor with NO remnants of cancer cells. Never had chemo, nor radiation. My journey has been long and challenging but worth every moment. I'm celebrating next month 10 years no flare ups and blood tests clear of Lupus. I was given 6-18 months to live in 1997. Was on 22 meds a day. But for the grace of God, I'm still here. The healthiest I've ever been. No medications since 2002.
Brand new vegan here (I'm starting my second week now) and I've lost 5 pounds and no longer have to deal with bloating! Looking forward to a lifetime of health and happiness ❤❤❤
I could make a huge list of benefits but my top changes have been my health, I completely cured my ulcerative colitis with veganism. Also my best friend went vegan, and many people I know have been trying more vegan foods as well. 💚☺️
Niwa wow...I’ve suffered from UC most of my life, I may strongly consider making more changes to my diet.
Did you already eat healthily before, or did you start eating more healthily with your transition to being a vegan? I'm a vegetarian with a pretty balanced diet, and I have been incorporating more vegan meals into my diet. Nonetheless, I recently developed acid reflux. I think what works for one person doesn't work for another. I'm sure there are people whose skin clears up, whose digestion improves, their weight improves, etc. on a vegan diet, but some people also either don't see an improvement or see a deterioration in their health.
my dad has UC and his diet isn't very great, do you know any papers or information i could show him online that might shift him to eating more or fully plant based?
I have Crohn's Disease and being vegan allows me to be medication-free and symptom-free. My father died from Crohn's Disease and not one doctor told him to modify what he ate - he took massive amounts of pills and died in pain and agony. I refused to go that route!
+LolloRosso, for your acid reflux, consider consuming alkanine water.
PLEASE PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON YOUR HOMEMADE CLEANING PRODUCTS!!!!😀🤓🤠😇
Best decision of my life. I became more compassionate, and down to earth, less depressed and less unstable. My mind set changed completely. I don't get angry as often. It brought me spiritual growth and mental clarity. I feel healthier and lighter and also lost weight. I have more motivation to wake up early in the morning, meditate and exercise. Thank you very much beautiful souls, you guys are definitely making the difference in this world...
Become the change you want to see in the world ! Go Girl ! You are awsome !
"A better version of myself!" I love it!!!
Just got your book the other day - NOT disappointed!
I'm 95% on my way to being vegan, thanks to you....working on the remaining 5%!
You can do it! You will get to that 100% very soon😄💪❤🌱
You're almost there! Keep working on it.
Yay! Thank you so much, Michelle!
How are you getting on?
You look great...skin and hair poppin.👍🏾
Your smile, your energy, your honesty, and beauty, all shining good job sis 😭💪🏽👏🏽🧠
I’m a vegetarian going vegan, and this video helped a lot 💕
Hi what is the difference between vegetarian and vegan
@@superbspurge vegetarian still consume dairy products. Vegan is completely animal free
@@superbspurge vegans don't consume milk products and don't use animal products.
I just hit my 8 month anniversary😂 can’t wait to say I’ve been vegan for 10 years lol. Love your channel! The changes that have happened for me so far are weight loss-I was wearing a size 31 & am now a 27! Also, my skin is flawless and my hair is even thicker and fuller than before. My migraines went away and I sleep better and can’t sleep in anymore Bc I have so much energy! Also, my GI issues mostly went away.
Same! I can't wait for that too :)
I'm so happy you're doing so well. That is inspiring!!!
How was your first few days going vegan. I’m only 16 and I’m struggling my family is huge on meat and I just wanna make a healthier decision but it’s hard, I’ve only been a vegetarian for one day and I know that sounds weak but everyone started with day one
Thank you for not “photo-bombing” us with animal torture videos! My total pet peeve. (pun intended!) I loved the beautiful animal portraits. When you’ve already committed to being vegan, it’s hard to keep watching the abuse videos. I don’t need convincing.
The biggest change I’ve noticed since becoming vegan, and people tend to look at me like I’m crazy when I say this, is the pure joy you experience when you rid your body of all that death and pain that comes from ingesting animal products. It’s “hippy-dippy” I know, but so true for me. I feel lighter, happier and more joyful being vegan. 🤪
Great! Although I am not totally Vegan. I am nearly 70 years old and has not eaten meat in 50 years, although I like frying my chicken once or twice a year and smothering my greens with Turkey tails, which is Smoked. But I do plan on cooking greens and adding other spices such as liquid smoke, onions, garlic and greens seasoning! I also like buying Alaskan King Crab Legs and Lobster and steaming them, also once or twice! Not eating meat has been great for me, so for now, I am totally happy with my diet. But I wish the best for those who are totally Vegan! I just might go that route someday, hopefully!
I can't watch them either but I believe they are necessary to show people the reality of their cruel and barbaric dietary choices. It's too easy to eat some brown blob wrapped in plastic without thinking about where it came from and all the suffering that went into it. Most people need to see the reality of what they are doing before they will change their bad habits.
@@shirley9529 If you have eaten chicken, turkey, crab legs or lobster even ONCE per year, you CANNOT say that you haven't eaten meat in 50 years!
@@melindakay0815Thank You, Melinda! Again, I have not eaten meat in 50 years. I do eat a little chicken, which is poultry and a little fish, which is sea food! They are not classified as meat, Mellinda! But, thanks for your comment and concern!
When she said Dove soap I fainted 😫😫😫😫😔😞
Me too!! I love Dove soap
Right I was like I need dove lmao
Lol
me too!!!!
Me and you both!!!
at 6:21 a hummingbird flies up to your window
The little bird was saying I see you Queen👁️👄👁️
Amazing!
You're right! How poetic is that. Thanks for pointing it out!
OMG, brilliant spotting on your part. Thanks for sharing.
Literally my entire life has changed since going vegan. The best choice I have ever made for myself, the planet, and the animals. 💛🐷🌎
5 year veg-anniversary over here! Woop woop!
Congrats!
Congratulations!!
Thank you! :)
Great video!! Ive been Vegan for over a year now. Is it ok to get a physical at your regular doctor every year?
Me too ! Congrats!!!
I've made the transition a month ago with my hygiene.( natural)I'm having trouble with my digestive system. I've been vegan for 8 days. Its so hard but inspiring. I'm fighting urges but I'm determined to keep fighting
👏 You got this. Keep the dedication and strength going. Much love ❤️
Hi there,
I would encourage to make sure to have varied plant food sources including organic squash and yams that target the stomach, as well as lemons to lower your stomach's PH level. Grape juice is also good for any stomach ulcers from my understanding, if you do experience those.
If not already doing so, i do encourage to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it).
Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death.
Best wishes

I went vegetarian and started growing dreadlocks in the same year. My family and friends thought I was losing my damn mind. This was back in 1995 - when you rarely saw people with locks and before there was a vegetarian selection at the grocery store, before the Keto madness and before there was a RUclips. Now, most of my family members are cutting back on meat and are even going veggie/vegan after looking at me sideways for 25 years! Going holistic and carving your own path challenges you and everyone around you. Now 25 years later what was not 'EN VOGUE" back then is now a true lifestyle for some and a psychotic trend for many. Hey - I always say better late than never.
Can you do a skin care routine :) what products you use daily/ nightly
Only 10? Girl, you are continually servicing the economy!! Love YOU! 😘😘😘
Almost all of my depression is gone!
I’m going vegan 🌱 , I turn out to be sick but I heard eating healthy can get rid of it !!
Wow! Would you do a video on diy beauty products? I keep praying for my family and for my journey to be more consistent.
Ive been struggling with my diet, but watching your video made me a believer. No more meat for me! Going to take things one day at a time! Then in 7 years, I will be a testimony as well! TFS!
My daughter has been vegan since 7th grade she is now in Vet school. She has been the reason my husband and I have become vegan. It took us a long time. The chicken was the last to go, I loved fried chicken! But now I see it's just something to season, so I season tofu. instead. I love how good everything tastes once you start to change how you eat and get rid of meat. Fresh herbs and spices help make simple dishes so good. My taste buds changed so now a simple bowl of soup with veggies & beans is so delicious to me. The biggest change besides weight loss is my mental clarity. I would sometimes lose words but now my thinking is. speaking is so clear! I love animals so much and she would say anyone who loves animals as much as you do should not eat them and she is right. Now when I see vast amounts of dead animals in the grocery store it makes me feel sick! P.S. your skin is so beautiful!! I am soon 60 and my daughter said my wrinkles look better and my skin is glowing! Thank you for your videos!!
I have followed a vegan diet since 1990. A lot has changed since then. Even in NYC there were not so many resources back then. I live in Michigan now, where we have a closed FB group Vegan Kalamazoo. It is a great resource, in fact, that's where I discovered that YOU exist!! I am very happy that you are out there in the world, carrying on this work. It gave a jumpstart to my day today, reading about and listening to you. Thank you!
You really are an inspiration. I love how you really want to spread knowledge via your experiences versus preaching and judging non-vegans. You get more bees with honey than vinegar 🤗. I even bought your cookbook and can't wait to start cooking these recipes! Much love! 🖤
Lol love your spirit , when you said the names of new foods you eat it sounded like another language lol.☺️
😂
GOD bless You in Christ Jesus name!...You look stunning!
I went vegetarian for a month and a couple of weeks and my mile time dropped from about 7:00 to 5:15! Now I am fully Vegan and I am 38 days in. Feeling great! And it is good to know that my eating habits are doing good in the world. In animals lives, my brothers and sisters in the world, and the planet!
#5 is great advice: encourage your family to transition by setting the example and _not_ by scolding or lecturing them. I have made the mistake of lecturing and arguing with my own family (who already eat healthier than most) and just made everyone angry. Nobody in my family can be "told" anything--they have to learn it for themselves or die trying.
You inspire me so much to keep working toward being plant based!
Thank you so much!!! Good luck to you :)
I became vegan like 1 week ago or so and I’m so excited for the changes ☺️
I'm finally relaxing how important food is. Eating more Plant based Lifestyle every day. My journey has just beginning. My goal is to be Vegetarian, long term Vegan. Small steps
How is it going?
You are so refreshing to watch! Such a ball of sunshine! 🤗🤗
I'm Ovo vegetarian transitioning to become Vegan taking it slow doing a lot of research . I've learned a lot from you thank you for sharing
If I could love this video instead of liking it I would! Love the way you talk about it and how sincere you are without trying to push it on people. One of the things that bothers me a lot is when I talk about going vegan, people (jokingly or not) say, “you better not convert me!” It is the better way to go, but I’m not going to force anyone to do anything, I’d rather inspire them. Thank you for talking about it in such a calm, kind way!
LOVE THIS! embarking on 4 years for me. So much love to you!!
You are so beautiful! Not too many people have the camera presence you do. It’s genuine and I love it. Your videos also help me so much ♥️
Thanks beautiful am a new vegan 🌱 1 month in and looking forward to a lifetime of being vegan 🌱
That's awesome! how is your vegan journey going? x
Your smile is giving me life though! Love your locs too in the clips from your loc days. Congrats on being full time in your passion.
Thank you for sharing. I am eating my first vegan chicken sandwich right now. I'm 46, and take medications daily for diabetes, ms, hypothyroidism, cancer, and osteoporosis. And my doctors are telling me, this is my life. I beg to differ. Some vegan things are tricky for me, due to my juvenile diabetes. I am so a huge animal lover. I do a lot of research on things, after seeing a few documentaries, why would I eat anything that has to live life that way. So sad. You have been an inspiration for me. I appreciate you my beautiful sister. much love
I would love to see your vegan diy cleaning products/routine!!!! You look amazing btw this bohemian braid style suits you so much! You're really inspiring me to take the vegan plunge 🤗💕
Yes, I was just about to make the same comment! Please make a video about your diy cleaning products!!!
I love being vegan. It makes me happy on the inside from my heart. It makes me want to be a better person. And I love love,love the Daiya mac and cheese. That is the only processed food I really eat. I made sweet love to a bowl of that last night and had a glass of kombucha with it. Yummm. I also love making my own cleaning products. Besides the animals being saved, that is my favourite thing. And I am trying my hand at homemade beauty products and gifts for people, as well as sauces and dips that I normally buy. All my plant based milks are made from scratch and so are most of my cheeses. What do you clean your bathroom with?
I'd love to see this too!!
Same here, and her recommended vegan skin and body care products.
Thank you so much! Take it!! You can do it 😜
Definitely, its like a gateway to living a compassionate lifestyle for ALL living beings. I'm learning about ethical fashion as well.
not sure if you've seen it already, but if you haven't, I'd recommend "the true cost" a documentary on netflix
Ever since I went vegan I've been more connected with my conscious mind. It has helped me out with my aniexty a bunch! My skin is glowing, I look at food in a totally different perspective and my mom and dad have also loved all the vegan food they've tried. Oh and my twin went vegan with me!
Thank you for this video and sharing your journey. I’m in absolute awe of your skin, it’s just glowing, and radiant which alone speaks power about the food your eating too. I love that your trying your best to live a holistic natural lifestyle, I’m all about that too 🌱💚
Your nana is so cute!!!!!
I love this!!!! I'm nearly 40 days in my Vegan life style change. Thank you for being an inspiration. I hope to have a channel like yours. Stay awesome and beautiful ❤️
Hi there,
If not already doing so, i do encourage to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it).
Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death.
Best wishes

You’re a beacon of light!
Thank you for all of your hard work, your amazing smile and entertaining content!
Wishing you all the best in 2022, and in next years to come.
Love the energy you’re giving! Thank you for this video 🥰
Happy veganniversary! I love what you said about how if more people become vegan, then fewer animals will be born just to be killed. 😘
You’re sunshine to watch. Thank you for sharing this.
Watching here from Thailand! I'm so glad finding your videos, they're all incredible. And this video inspires me a lot, it shows that I'm going the right way. Thank you so much and cheers up!
Your nana seems like such a sweet soul her voice warmed my heart
Omg! Dove?? I’m about to go through all my ingredients in my bathroom🙅🏽♀️ (14 days in)
Ciera J im 2 days in lol
niaamaraa that’s awesome!!
Ciera J me too
I thought the samething when she said dove
Well done! I'm over a year in and Jenné has been helping me almost from the very beginning.With any products that I found had animal products/were tested on animals I still used because throwing out the soap isn't going to un-kill the animal, and then I just wouldn't buy any more of that product That was my approach to it anyways, everyone is different. I still have a 2 year old leather wallet because I didn't want to waste money replacing it. Good luck on your vegan journey!
You are so beautiful and glowing!!! Congrats on 7 Years you look amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
my skin has gotten a certain glow since being vegan and it’s so smooth and subtle. i also noticed that i may have lost weight but it doesn’t bother me. i also feel lighter and higher vibrations since i’m vegan. i like it so far. i feel good and get no cravings of animal products
I love your light & spirit! Thank you for sharing so much with us!
Thanks for the insight Sista.
I an thinking about going vegan now. My hubby and I are truckers and I think it will be beneficial for our everyday lives.
So happy for you!! Especially, happy your health improved!
Beautiful reflections. I have experienced all the same things with health, skin, partner & family members going vegan/vegetarian and just eating less animlas, extending my compassion circle, becoming more natural, and nearly everything you mentioned.
I just discovered your channel a week ago & have been binging. Love your vibe
First time on your channel and I love your glow!
I super appreciate people like you who are vegan for encouraging and teaching us your ways & how to go more plant-based without* shaming or insulting people 🙏💕thank you!
One of the best RUclips testimonies I’ve seen. Appreciate your insight. ☺️
I'm beginning my journey and your videos are really helping me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and guidance!
I experienced the same thing, starting to care about everything after I became vegan!! Also, love your genuine warmth and kindness ❤️

Seriously thinking about taking the step of going vegan. This was so helpful.
Thanks! You have a beautiful smile!
love this, I relate!! also, your skin is perfect...would love to see skincare video!
I grew up as an Africn-American vegan in the 70's in 80's and people made it seam like I cam from a family of freaks (I moved from CA to the mid-west). I am also a 3rd generation African-American non-meat eater (vegans and vegetarians) I wish I would've had other people to share my convictions and experiences with growing up. Life would have been easier. This post made my soul happy. I am glad that thinking is changing and people are progressing in this area. I am proud of you.
