⁣There’s no food in the world like Mummy’s cooking ❤ ⠀
⠀
Not everyone readily welcomes a vegan in the family and mine was certainly not an exception. It took a damn long time, but all the years of bickering with my mum about my lifestyle choices have finally lead us to a place of mutual love and respect, where she is proud of what I do, and I am proud of her stepping up to the challenge of re-creating plant-based versions of the food I’ve grown up with.⠀
⠀
I’ve learned that becoming a vegan is not just a personal journey. It is a journey for everyone around you too.⠀

If you are struggling being accepted in your family, from one ‘black sheep’ to another, you are not alone. There is a time and place for battles to be won. And they will be won with patience, compassion and empathy. Be love. Stay strong. Stay black. 🖤🐑
