Come to a booksigning and discussion with Sistah Vegan contributors

[Guest guest]

Two years ago I wrote an article for an anthology of black vegan women called SISTAH VEGAN! The book was the idea of Breeze Harper, a Harvard master's degree candidate at the time, who wanted to provide the world with black vegan women's perspectives on health and racism, veganism, the environment and other issues. The book is out and there are three of us who contributed from DC who will be at the signing. Come out and hear us speak or read and discuss health, nutrition and survival...PLEASE PASS THE WORD ALONG!Saturday, March 13th, 5:00pm-7:00pm~ Discussion and Booksigning ~ Sistah Vegan, edited by A.
