Five and a half years ago I got a job at a little vegan restaurant on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with the intention of working there until I received my big break as an actress. I thought it would come quickly, after all, I had just finished playing Princess Tiana of The Princess and the Frog in a live Disney show. Clearly acting success was around the corner for me {insert side eye emoji}.
But you never know where life will take you. I was reminded of that truth when I sat in front of the camera last weekend to share my vegan story with you.
Shortly after beginning my career as an actress in New York City, and getting that job at the little vegan restaurant, I lost my passion for the craft. I floated in limbo not knowing what I should do with myself. I didn’t want to be an actress anymore, but I didn’t feel qualified to do anything else. I wasn’t vegan at the time. I had already started Sweet Potato Soul, but just as a hobby. I loved food so much, but what could I do with that?
Then it happened. I decided to go vegan and my whole life changed!
Check out the video for more more more!! Also, check out the post I wrote a couple of weeks ago for more insight into the good karma that came to me from going vegan.
Do you have a vegan story? I’d love to hear it 
p.s. Thanks to all of you who shared your amazing suggestions for future Sweet Potato Soul videos on Youtube. I have an impressive list of over 80 suggestions, tons of repeats, and it’s still growing. If you haven’t given me your suggestions, please let me know what you’d like to see on my channel. I’ve got a lot coming down the pipeline in the second half of 2016, and I want to make sure I’m giving you what you want!!
