“I’m pretty proud of being a pioneer in our brown vegan movement here in LA. Being ahead of the curve sometimes felt like a battle,” she says. “I’m not discovering anything new. I’m only revitalizing our ancestral foodways by centering plants. Colonial Mexican food is what is mostly known and consumed.”
