My vegan journey began in 2011 with a passion for uncovering why so many people were getting sick... could it be something in our food? And why was our beautiful planet earth looking so gloomy?
After watching a bazillion documentaries like FOOD MATTERS, VEGUCATED and BLACKFISH... bawling my eyes out as well as getting angry, swearing and throwing things.. the Vegan Hippie-Chick facebook community was created to connect with other like-minded individuals who also wanted answers to these questions. And to my surprise there were lots of cool peeps who had been researching this stuff for a long time.. i was really inspired.
My comic book themed raw vegan cafe was a meeting place for everyone who felt alone and frustrated by mysterious food intolerances., unnecessary animal cruelty and corporation pollution that is devastating our planet at an accelerated rate. However, in October of 2019 I decided to close the doors due to skyrocketing rents which made it difficult to bring my creations to the public. Instead our delightful vegan sweets are now available at local shops starting with:
Hillside Coffee and Tea (across from Hillside Mall in Victoria BC)
I have also decided to return to my on-line presence which had always been strong and expand my recipe blog, YouTube channel, comic books and social media communities.
My activist comic e-book series begins with Issue #1; VEGAN HIPPIE-CHICK COMIC BOOK COOKBOOK filled with deliciously simple vegan recipes. I am now working on Issue #2 LITTLE VEGAN HIPPIE-CHICK KITCHEN filled with my favourite entertaining-style recipes. Stay tuned for the official release!!
Thanks for stopping by! Peace & Love, Karen
