I’m Caro and I’m originally South African now living in Northern Ireland for the past 18 months or so. I’m a single mother to two sons and I’ve been vegan for 3.5 years this month. I wouldn’t say I’m a massive animal lover but I am a very committed and passionate feminist, and veganism made a lot of sense to me ideologically when I first started thinking about it. I originally tried it out as a dietary choice because I fell in love with a vegan chef but the more I read and understood, the more I came to see that I can’t claim to be anti-oppression while not extending the same stance to other sentient creatures. I spend a lot of time thinking about food, especially with two growing children who are fussy and picky eaters, and I like that veganism has allowed me to show them that we can still eat delicious food while continuously having conversations about our responsibility to not cause harm to ourselves, the planet and all living creatures. And yes, this is my favourite mug of all time 💛🌱 #weeklywins
