If you are the only vegan in your house, I want you to listen up. Or the only vegan in your friend group. The only vegan at your school. The only vegan at your job. There are two really important things that I want you to remember here. 1. If you're the only vegan in the room, you get to represent veganism in that room. When you show up as a vegan in spaces where you are the only vegan, all eyes are now on you. And I know that can be uncomfortable. It can feel like pressure. It can feel like isolation. But I want us to try to switch the narrative. When you're nice to people, when you're kind to people, when you show up for people, when you bring your own food, you are showing people what a vegan looks like. Because we don't look like one single thing. We all look different. Remember: this is power. You get to change the room. If you're in a room full of vegans, you're not really going to bring much change. But if you're in a room full of people who aren't yet vegan, you get to bring this to them. 2. If you are vegan, I want you to take your physical fitness and physical health seriously. Of course our mental health matters too, but I also want us to think about how we show up physically when we walk into a room and we're the only vegan. We get to have a physique that shows what a vegan can build. What a vegan can do. What a vegan can look like. We help change that narrative. By being the only vegan in the room, that's a lot of power. And by building our physique when we walk into that room, we also get to show people just how far vegans can go and show them that there's really no reason not to do this. Guys, I want to empower you, and I also want to help you build your physique. If this was helpful, share this with another vegan who needs to hear this message.
