Deep gratitude to @veganhouserules for making space for this conversation.

Our executive director @collectiveabolition sat down to talk about the work we do at APEX and to say plainly what too many movements refuse: plant-based living is not a colonial import. For Afro-Indigenous communities, plant-centered eating can be ancestral practice, political memory, and a refusal to let extractive food systems write our futures. Veganism and Indigeneity were never at odds. This interview holds the holistic, the political, and the decolonial together, because you can’t separate what we eat from who profits, who’s displaced, who’s exploited, whose bodies are commodified, and who’s fed.
