Black Millennial Vegan
Three words that could be read separately and hold different meanings that when they are all put together: Black. Millennial. Vegan.
Imari Gabrielle is the owner and creator of Black Millennial Vegan which is a summation of her life over the past couple of years, yet so much more. Her website states that she is dedicated to the decolonization of the human mind, body & soul through plant based remedies & food. Gabrielle started her journey into veganism in 2019 after slowly cutting out meat from her diet. Over time she realized what she learned could and should be shared with others.
She began providing information on her personal social media and from their the idea to open her business, Black Millennial Vegan, was born. People enjoyed the information she provided and she began selling vegan products and sharing education as well as vegan recipes.
It’s not just a matter of eating choice for her, though. It’s a cleansing of mind, body and soul. She wants others to know and make educated decisions based on the information available, which includes health benefits for all but especially women of color and other BIPOC.
Sea moss is one of the items that she sales which has a majority of the naturally occurring nutrients in the human body, but also helps to replace what isn’t being provided by a large amount of the food available for consumption in society. She also mentions that various ways that sea moss can be beneficial.
Gabrielle, who recently gave birth, also highlights the option of natural home births and the risks–including death–black women face in hospitals based on a variety of factors. She used a midwifery team to have her son in-home and spoke about why she felt it was her best option even though it varied from what she thought years earlier. The decision was based on a variety of factors, but the Business of Being Born, explains some of the reasons why.
The racial injustice, triumph and struggle, that BICOP individuals have experienced is also touched upon, such as the lack of knowledge about the Black inventors, innovators and game-changers throughout history who are less spoken about, including people like Claudette Colvin. She is also in the process of releasing an eBook that will include recipes and education about veganism.
