When you grow up in the Bronx and decide that your food sources are coming to you through fast food or liquor stores, you get activated. Destiny DeJesus tells us how she found Veggie Mijas as a way to get involved with activistas de la tierra, by creating a local chapter as her way to help folks learn about food justice and creating healthy meals. Her own food transition to decolonizing her diet was a journey that motivated her further to bring it through Instagram Live, with cooking shows and healthy food hauls on a budget. Destiny's social impact also discusses the way mainstream veganism is not inclusive to BIPOC communities and she deconstructs that message by leveraging her knowledge of how to shop on a budget to purchase fresh vegetables and fruit through discount variety stores, such as Dollar Tree and Grocery Outlet. The education Destiny brings from Veggie Mijas to her Live IG cooking shows demonstrates her social impact to folks globally who want to decolonize their guts. Follow her at eatyodestiny on Instagram and follow the Veggie Mijas for more information as they are activating a new food revolution for our communities to stand up for food justice.

Introducing VeganaxMexicana a vegan food blogger from Orange County, California. Ruby Ortega created a life changing blog for Vegan food enthusiasts by recreating her Mexican roots into recipes that shares her story. "I'm a small SoCal based food blogger who's been vegan for 2 years. Being vegan has allowed me to see the world differently and know that my conscious choices are making a difference. For the past year and a half, I wanted to find a way that I could showcase and fuse my love for the vegan lifestyle and my culture. So I took it to my social media! And the name VeganaxMexicana was born! I dedicate my page to show my friends how I am able to veganize some of my favorite childhood dishes :) I also am part of an awesome national collective called Veggie Mijas. I plan and oversee events in the Orange County area for POC vegans.
