This photo (and video of the lecture below) is from the women of color food justice and self-care panel. This took place at the Conference Against Environmental Racism at the University of Oregon-Eugene, on May 18 2013. The featured critical thinkers are Dr. A. Breeze Harper of the Sistah Vegan Project (on the right) and on the left is…
Over the past few years, I have blogged about whiteness, racism, and veganism in a way that is mindful, holistic, and critical. Despite my attempts to present such 'sensitive' issues in scholarly and mindful ways, I have experienced comments that are downright violent and full of hateful rage from white-identified people. Most recently, someone posted a response to my 2012 blog article about the racial politics of dread lock wearing and cultural appropriation.
In this video, I suggest several plant based solutions to raise a pregnant woman's low iron levels. This is particularly helpful for those of you searching for non-animal based options.
List of Ingredients You'll Need:
1. High protein diet (70-90g per day if you are lactating)
2. Diet high in the 'good' fats, such as avocados, coconut, and walnuts.
4. Maca Root. 1 tsp per day, in the morning, mixed in a smoothie or cooled down hot cereal, or some yogurt. Don't take on an empty stomach, it could irritate it. Don't take after 3pm or you may not sleep.
Today it became official: I am Dr. Amie "Breeze" Harper. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this possible.

Dissertation Title: Vegan Consciousness and the Commodity Chain: On the Neoliberal, Afrocentric, and Decolonial Politics of 'Cruelty-Free.'
Hi! Noemi here, a few announcements if you will.
I have finished two new zines, The Blue Metal Kettle and Lines from Acedia to Apatheia
which you can read about here at my site hermanaresist and order on etsy here.
I’m looking for collaborators, zines and more for a new project S.alt Media Review, that reviews zines and projects by people of color. I’m also working on a yummy baked sweets vegan recipe zine, which I’ll be creating a kickstarter to fund the printing costs. I’ll announce it when I have that ready to go. The cover will be done by an amazing Chicana artist who also does tattoos, she’s done my Hermana,Resist and “create” typewriter tattoos. She’s vegan too 
Pattrice Jones has sent us word that the VINE (veganism is the next evolution) Sanctuary is seeking a professional fundraiser. I’ve added the call out here, good luck.
I have to admit that I am not a fan of the use of 'porn' in describing food. But, that is just me. I prefer the word 'erotica' instead so....
Today I will be kicking off my Sistah Vegan in Europe series with "Food Erotica" as a way to share my experiences in Europe. Today I share with you Salzburg, Austria.
I have a New Year's resolution suggestion for vegans of the status quo in the USA:
SUCK LESS.
What does this entail? Well, this has a very long and broad answer, but for the sake of this blog I'm going to try to keep it short and simple:
(1) Please do not approach non-white people as if eating vegetables is a new idea you would like to share with us.
I am teaching Eva Luna some Queen Afua inspired nutrition for her womb-health now. She is 14 months old.
I tell her every morning that kale is the food of the goddess. I tell her that I try to decolonize my womb with raw green smoothies. She doesn't know what I mean, but she will soon.
I am hoping that she will appreciate the Afrowomanist healing knowledge I give her.
You can email me your abstracts (approximately 2 paragraphs) at the email address sistahvegan(at)gmail (dot). Com
