Today, we invited on Eloísa Trinidad to discuss her work fighting food insecurity. Eloísa is an award-winning policy advocate, liberation activist, educator, and artist. Her path toward activism and Veganism started early in life. She was raised by centenarians who lived off the land, taught her to be self-sustainable, and passed down much ancestral knowledge to her. This shaped her views of justice and empathy for all Beings, protection of our sacred home–Earth, and the belief in the healing power of plants, sharing, and community. As an AfroIndigeous Latina woman, she approaches liberation praxis and Veganism with an anti-colonial framework to raise awareness of how Western colonization has affected and continues to affect the plight of humans and beyond-human persons (animals). And how it has changed the food system and our relationship with each other and the natural world. 3:27 - 7:12 Growing Up in the Dominican Republic 7:13 - 9:32 Advocating For Others 18:35 - 22:04 Fighting Food Insecurity 22:05 - 22:45 Addressing Food Waste Chilis on Wheels: https://www.chilisonwheels.org/ Vegan Activist Alliance: www.veganactivistalliance.org Listen and Subscribe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pbnm.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pbnmorg/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrHajqYAnc6b0syopySVkOg/ #nutrition #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #nutritionstudent #educatorsmindset #educator #plantbased #plantbasedfood #plantbasedlife #plantbasedlifestyle
