Plant-based as resistance: Veggie Mijas reconnects BIPOC communities to the land
From storytelling workshops to seed swaps, they’re cultivating more than just vegetables in Philly and nationally.
As the price of food increases and plant-based living becomes increasingly important, one local organization is connecting BIPOC communities to their cultural heritage through food.
As a Latinx woman and gender-expansive person-led collective, Veggie Mijas aims to empower women and gender-expansive people through making plant-based living more accessible. The organization’s approach is to keep ancestral practices and foodways at the forefront of their services.
