“As a nine-year vegan and now outreacher/vegan activist, Colleen’s words have provided a foundation of knowledge on which I can rely when I’m speaking to pre-vegans. When I first became vegan and I was still the only one I knew, her explanations and passion gave me the confidence to continue eating in accordance with my values despite a cacophony of doubt, criticism, and mockery (against veganism) from everyone I encountered—family and friends included. Her book, The Vegan Table, served as the basis for my family’s first several vegan-friendly Thanksgivings, and still does. I’m happy to say that now, my parents eat plant-based as well (though only my mom identifies as vegan). My mom even became certified in Plant-Based nutrition and teaches free classes on eating a plant-based diet to people in our community. My husband has agreed to let me keep a vegan kitchen, and my step-daughter has gone vegan as well, after spending last summer at our home. Thank you, Colleen, for giving me the confidence to speak my truth for the animals.”
