If it wasn't for Black vegans, the plant-based movement wouldn't have come as far as it has. If I'd allocated my time properly, I'd have done a blog on why plant-based eating is so key to preventing future pandemics, but most of us know about that already, don't we?...

My silver-medal worthy vegan banana bread recipe
