S2 Ep24: Destiny DeJesus of Veggie Mijas wants to Decolonize your diet through Instagram Live

Latinas From The Block To The Boardroom

When you grow up in the Bronx and decide that your food sources are coming to you through fast food or liquor stores, you get activated. Destiny DeJesus tells us how she found Veggie Mijas as a way to get involved with activistas de la tierra, by creating a local chapter as her way to help folks learn about food justice and creating healthy meals. Her own food transition to decolonizing her diet was a journey that motivated her further to bring it through Instagram Live, with cooking shows and healthy food hauls on a budget. Destiny's social impact also discusses the way mainstream veganism is not inclusive to BIPOC communities and she deconstructs that message by leveraging her knowledge of how to shop on a budget to purchase fresh vegetables and fruit through discount variety stores, such as Dollar Tree and Grocery Outlet. The education Destiny brings from Veggie Mijas to her Live IG cooking shows demonstrates her social impact to folks globally who want to decolonize their guts. Follow her at eatyodestiny on Instagram and follow the Veggie Mijas for more information as they are activating a new food revolution for our communities to stand up for food justice.
