Meet Vegan Girl

Welcome to XOXO Vegan Girl, a Vegan-Feminist philosophy and journalism blog that dissects all aspects of animal exploitation, regardless of species.

This blog began as a passion project, virtual portfolio, and general void for my ramblings to end up. I’ve always been a prolific writer with a passion for minimizing suffering in the world. This passion includes raising awareness for the unnecessary and unjustified abuse of non-human animals and women across the globe.

I was a full-time animal rights activist in my late teens. I even lived out of my car for six months to attend every slaughterhouse vigil, protest, and die-in I could. I lived off of granola bars and the generosity of other activists to get by. My in-person activism suddenly screeched to a halt, and I was forced to hang up my megaphone. I spent years wondering how I could return to activism with my new obstacles; that’s when XOXO Vegan Girl came to be.

I began writing animal rights-related content for my college newspaper and was soon awarded the head writer position. Every paper I wrote for my several English and Journalism classes revolved around Veganism and Feminism, and before long, I was connecting the obvious dots.

I immediately bought every Carol J. Adams book I could find and began dissecting every word. My husband had to run to the store to pick up more book-annotation tabs on several occasions. The Sexual Politics of Meat changed my life.

XOXO Vegan Girl is here to serve as a guide for the modern individual looking to do better and as a resting place for my hours of research and critical theories. Veganism and Feminism can not successfully exist without each other. There are an overwhelming amount of bigoted vegans and too many non-vegan ‘feminists.’

Here, you will learn about the abuse, exploitation, oppression, and violence that have bonded the issues of women’s liberation and non-human animal liberation since the beginning of time. Here, you will learn how to fight against these systems and choose compassion. Here, you will learn how to become a Vegan-Feminist.

XOXO, Vegan Girl.
