  • Vegan Posse Unite!

    I heard Chrissy interviewed on another podcast and I knew I must tune into her Vegan Posse. Through it, I’m finding out about so many inspiring people, I’m learning new ideas, and I feel a sense of connection to this far reaching vegan community. Chrissy is such a natural at leading these interesting conversations. I find myself looking forward to each new weekly episode. I love it!
