How My Vegan Journey Began

Me? The “WOLF” my dad called me this as I will always tackle the meat on my plate before the actual food.

How can “ the WOLF” dislike meat- take note that even though I loved meat I was a fussy meat eater so cow’s foot, roundabout, large intestines, small intestines and some other meats had NEVER graced my mouth all MY LIFE!! I wasn’t a big fish eater but I loved shrimp/prawns. I was that girl who would fight you for shrimp/prawns/calamari on your plate @abena_f1 is my witness I fought her over some calamari on her own plate at Busaba Eathai once Lol.

Fast forward to 2015, I had stopped eating prawns and was left with red meat, chicken breasts and white fish which was the only type of fish I could eat. My hatred for fish started as a child. Mackerel was served in my home very often and the black & blue skin disgusted me so this made me hate fish.

Milk-wise, I had resorted to making my own coconut milk and also buying almond and other plant based milks and most importantly using water in my smoothies. 

Fast forward to 2016, I had stopped eating red meat & white fish and was left with chicken breasts and vegetables. I was transitioning and I did not even know it.

How then would I stop eating meat all together?
How would I ” THE WOLF” survive I asked myself?
Would I survive on vegetables on its own?
Would I survive on smoothies?
More research! More reading ! More self awareness!
Then in early 2016 I watched ” EARTHLINGS” and that marked the end of me eating meat, eggs, cheese and cow’s milk. It was a done deal – the real transition began!

I went vegan for environmental impact, animal cruelty, my health, my sanity and a new sense of purpose.???
