5: Saying Bye to Non-Vegan Relationships (feat. ByFelicia) Mar 30, 2019

Show notes

Vegan relationships can be tough. It’s one thing when your parents and friends make rabbit jokes but what happens when it’s your significant other? Take a listen to this raw exchange I had with Felicia aka By Felicia from YouTube. Make sure to check out her podcast The Vegan Inquisition for amazing content like this episode on the woes of being a black vegan. The audio is a little rough, so I apologize ahead of time. I just thought the content was too good to pass up.
