Black Vegans Rejoice
An excerpt from Essence -
This Black-Owned Vegan Restaurant is Helping Brooklyn Become Greener, One Meal and Juice at a Time
By SIRAAD DIRSHE
In many inner-city communities, particularly low-income ones, access to healthy food options is still very limited. It's oftentimes easier and much cheaper to find a fast food hamburger, then say a salad. Twenty-one-year-old Francesca “Sol” Chaney noticed this inequality and thought it unfair.
"The wellness community can be really classist," Chaney tells ESSENCE. "Our intention [with Sol Sips] is to make organic plant-based beverage and bites available to everyone," she says.
As a full-time student, who worked three jobs, Chaney found herself constantly on the hunt for nutrient dense food that she could consume quickly. "At the time, I had just moved out on my own and began brewing teas and making juices and smoothies. I saw that they were working and I was feeling more energized and lighter," she says. So she began making her newly minted recipes for friends and family.
