“I want veganism to<br />
be such a part of<br />
the norm that<br />
people don’t raise<br />
an eyebrow when the<br />
subject is brought<br />
up but understand<br />
and accommodate it.<br />
I feel the more and<br />
it happens, the<br />
more instrumental it will be in moving things<br />
forward. Less infighting and more reaching out<br />
to people and getting them over to the<br />
greenside!”<br />
What else have you got up your sleeve for <strong>2017</strong>?<br />
I want to keep cooking, grow my YouTube channel<br />
(London Afro vegan Recipes) and get involved in lots more<br />
events and social meet ups. I want the community I’m<br />
involved in to grow and reach more people. There is such a<br />
stigma to veganism that I want to break down. I want<br />
veganism to be more accessible as an option in all schools,<br />
workplaces and canteens. *Stops typing as I’m starting to<br />
sound like Jamie Oliver*. I want veganism to be such a part<br />
of the norm that people don’t raise an eyebrow when the<br />
subject is raised but understand and accommodate it. I feel<br />
the more and it happens, the more instrumental it will be<br />
in moving things forward. Less infighting and more<br />
reaching out to people and getting them over to the<br />
greenside!<br />
What advice would you give to others who would<br />
also like to be positive role-models in their own<br />
communities?<br />
Connect with Esme<br />
via her website,<br />
Facebook, Twitter,<br />
YouTube channel<br />
or Instagram.<br />
Be nice, connect with those you want to inspire, lead by<br />
example and make veganism normal and part of the<br />
mainstream.<br />
