Came across this, and non-vegan me thought some here would be interested:
“Sistah Vegan: Black Women on the Social Implications of Veganism.” (http://veganmomma.com/blog/?p=706#more-706)
Sistah Vegan Anthology Submission Guidelines:
Deadline: June 1, 2006
I am searching for Black identified sistahs that practice Veganism to share their stores in an anthology I would like to put together. I am looking for poetry, narratives, creative stories or critical essays that link veganism to ending human oppression and ecological devastation. Topics and questions to consider can include but are not limited to:
Choosing Veganism and organic fair trade consumption because of it’s links to ecological harmony.
Realizing that Veganism connected you to other holistic practices that enhanced your health and managed life-long ailments.
Connecting a memory of sexual harassment and linking it to theories of Veganism.
The pivotal moment you realized that your dietary habits potentially supported the very types of oppression you were struggling against.
Do you have any funny yet poignant stories about your friends and family’s reactions to your conversion to Veganism?
Did you grow up as a vegan?
Did you ever have to defend your veganism at you job and feel constantly offended by people who just didn’t respect it?
