I'm a vegan mom of two amazing, lifelong vegan kids and married to my best friend and awesome vegan, Nathan (@n++). I went vegan in '97 for the animals, after reading Diet For A New America by John Robbins. I had gone vegetarian in early December of '95 and wanted to be vegan, but needed to learn that I could be healthy and vegan, which I learned from reading DFANA. I am an artist with a BFA in Art and am a former school art teacher-turned-homeschooling mom and I also teach nature-inspired online art classes.
