Passion Project: The Bronx Vegan
The Bronx Vegan was a vegan food blog established to explore veganism in my hometown. Through recipes, restaurant reviews, community events, and social media content, The Bronx Vegan established a space in the Vegan online community, challenging the status quo, and bringing to light issues across food, racial, and socio-economic justice. The platform existed between 2017 and 2019.
