Sistah Vegan

Breeze Harper, a Ph.D. at the University of California, Davis, has been researching the intersections of black feminism, critical race theory, and food politics. Her recent book, Sistah Vegan: Black Female Vegans Speak on Food, Identity, Health, and Society, is an anthology dedicated to the "racialized-gendered vegan experience." You can read more about the anthology and her work as well as watch/listen to some of her podcasts at the Sistah Vegan website.
