We are excited to present to you our first Melanated Intellects guest! Sidney is not only a youtuber, but she is an intelligent and creative college senior. We decided we would have a dynamic conversation about the plant-based lifestyle, and you know we had some laughs along the way! Patrice is a self-identified vegan, Sidney is a vegetarian, and Shayla is a meat-eater. Together we discuss everything from common misconceptions about this lifestyle, why we think it is growing in popularity, and resources that can be helpful for those looking to transition. Where else can you hear a melanated vegan, vegetarian, and meat eater having a much-needed discussion in a fun way? Make sure you tune in and listen!
