To celebrate Black History Month in February, national non-profit organization Afro-Vegan Society (AVS) has launched Veguary. The month-long campaign offers a series of free programs highlighting the contributions of Black vegan trailblazers and challenging people to commit to vegan living for February.
The event will include more than 20 Black vegan speakers, including Olympian Seba Johnson; Milton Mills, MD, who was featured in the vegan documentary
What the Health; celebrity chef Rain Truth; and certified holistic nutritionist Ruby Lathon. Some of the themes they will explore include the legacy of plant-based traditions in Black communities, plant-based health and wellness, making plant foods accessible in marginalized communities, and veganism as a part of a holistic world view to resisting oppression in all of its forms.
