Destiny DeJesús' journey into veganism began with a quest to clear her skin, but it quickly grew into something much larger. What started as a personal health endeavor transformed into a mission rooted in animal liberation and social justice. Destiny's story is a testament to the multifaceted nature of adopting a plant-based lifestyle and how individual choices can inspire broader ethical commitments and community growth. Throughout our conversation, Destiny shares the triumphs and hurdles of building a thriving vegan community in Dallas, particularly for vegans of color who often feel isolated in their dietary choices. From intimate farmer's market meetings to bustling potlucks, her efforts have fostered a sense of belonging and connection. Alongside her community-building, Destiny's food journal debunks the myth that veganism is costly, offering practical tips and strategies for budget-friendly plant-based eating. We also tackle the societal challenges of transitioning to a vegan lifestyle, from confronting misconceptions about protein intake to navigating cultural pressures during family gatherings. With insights on the role of social media in uniting like-minded individuals and initiatives like Texas Eats Green, Destiny illustrates the power of community and awareness. Her narrative encourages listeners to explore plant-based living not just as a diet but as a pathway to personal growth, enhanced culinary skills, and even new career opportunities. Join us to discover how veganism can offer a rich, inclusive, and affordable journey for more. Guest Bio: Destiny DeJesús, originally from the Bronx, NY, relocated to Dallas, Texas, in 2016 in search of more affordable living options amid the rising costs in her home city. It was in Texas that she discovered her calling in community organizing and embraced a vegan lifestyle. As the founder of Texas Eats Green, Destiny is dedicated to promoting plant-based options in restaurants within BIPOC communities in Dallas and San Antonio. She is also the driving force behind "Eat Yo Destiny," where she passionately advocates for budget-friendly vegan living, prioritizing food accessibility and empowering individuals with the knowledge to shop locally at grocers and convenience stores. Her platform serves as a guide, revealing vegan options within communities while tapping into local resources like pantries and community fridges. With her creative culinary skills, Destiny empowers others to create wholesome and nourishing meals with limited ingredients.

I had a chance to talk with Chris Martin about his work as a American History teacher at an Austin Middle School and especially his work as a E-Sport Entrepreneur. Its ok if you don't know what that is because I didn't either.Chris and I had a great time investigating this new generation of school sports that takes advantage of modern technology to teach students some very important life skills. Chris has created a company to provide services to schools in this area so students that want to take part aren't held back by a financial consideration. We also talked with Chris about his background and how he got interested in teaching in the first place. We laughed over the fact that the one class in which Chris ever got a failing grade was History and that is where he has made his career.Rendered in Final Cut Pro.

Matthew Paul Turner is on Reading With Your Kids to celebrate his children's book "You Will Always Belong." He explained that the book encourages children to feel a sense of self-acceptance and belonging. Matthew emphasized that loving oneself is important for truly loving and accepting others. He discussed previously feeling called to provide his own children with a healthy introduction to God through children's literature.
