Vegan Identity in a Non-Vegan World

Vegan Online Academy

00:00 / 19:33

This week’s podcast is presented by Carrie Harrison, an educator with an M.Ed., a BSc. Psych. And a certificate in plant-based nutrition.

Being vegan in a non-vegan world can create some challenges. In this podcast, via Skype with fellow vegan and bibliophile Brad Wheeler, we can look at what other people think of when they hear the word “Vegan” and why that can present us with difficulties and opportunities. We also think about how we negotiate relationships with friends and family, as well as discussing how we manage the challenges involved in sharing meals with non-vegans.
