The Institute for Animal Happiness is thrilled to partner with People’s Place, Lantern Publishing & Media and NY Farm Animal Save to present:

Presentation and Talk by Incredible Multi-faceted Activist, Fitness Instructor, Writer and Organizer OMOWALE ADEWALE!

(Please register at link below! Admission is free but seating is limited!)

Omowale Adewale is the founder of Black VegFest in NYC, and cofounder of Liberation Farm in Sullivan County. His many years of organizing, activism, community engagement and being a champion MMA fighter have informed his efforts today and made him one of the leading voices for racial and economic justice, animal rights, veganism and Black solidarity.

Adewale is also a MaRLI Research Scholar certified in plant-based nutrition, a published author, and the editor of the book Brotha Vegan, from Lantern Publishing and Media. Brotha Vegan is the follow-up to the revolutionary collection of essays, Sistah Vegan, and it is a collection of writings that unpack the lived experience of Black men on veganism, fatherhood, politics, sexuality, gender, health, popular culture, spirituality, food, animal advocacy, the environment, and the many ways that veganism is lived and expressed within the Black community in the United States. The book includes interviews with and essays by leading figures such as Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Doc (of Hip Hop is Green), chef Bryant Terry, physicians Anteneh Roba and Milton Mills, DJ Cavem, Stic and M-1 of Dead Prez, Kimatni Rawlins, and many others.

At once inspiring, challenging, and illuminating, Brotha Vegan lays bare the many paths that all lead to veganism and reveals the unified voices of a “veganized” movement for social renewal.

Presented by Institute for Animal Happiness in partnership with People’s Place, Lantern Publishing and Media and NY Farm Animal Save.

This evening will include Free Vegan Food! Registration is recommended as seating is limited. To register (for free) visit:
