Melanin Vegan is about improving your mindset based on food, culture, the environment, your health, gender and animals. Veganism is a lifestyle not a diet. I am exposing the animal agriculture and the myths around veganism. Have you ever heard the phrase You are what you eat? I speak for the unspoken!!! Melanin and feminism play a role in this podcast as well I am a young melanin woman. Do you know how many a gram of melanin is worth? I hope my listeners gain cognition from this podcast, because Melanin Vegan is beyond a category it's how we are going to evolve. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeanna-gaines/support

    In my journey of reducing waste I came across composting and fell in love with it. Composting is so beneficial for yourself and the environment. I was unaware of what this could do to my soil and plants, this recycling process converts food scraps to organic soil. If you garden or just wondering how you can live with less waste compost is definitely the way to go! It is also centers near you that receive compost so if you don't know how to do it or have to much you can drop of your food scraps at a local center near you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeanna-gaines/support

We struggle with speciesism and maybe it's because we just don't have a connect with this certain animal. We need to change the way we treat theses animals.
