Updates!

Hi friends! It's been a while since my last post. Don't worry, I've still be active. If you aren't already, check out my page on Facebook, where I link any of the posts from here, post articles and images and also some recipe videos.

In the last 6 months there's been some fun things happening with Vegan Xicana:

Facebook page- we reached over 1,000 likes! This is a cute accomplishment because it means it isn't just friends and family liking veganxicana :D

Community Educational Workshops! I facilitated a taller at Jornada Comunitaria Para La Salud in March 19th that La Loba Loca coordinated in Los Angeles at Radical Autonomous Communities. We made vegan ceviche and fruit and yogurt parfaits with homemade granola. It was wonderful, the workshop was in Spanish and included folks from teens to older folks.

In May I facilitated a Cooking Basics workshop for a Life Skills Series at UC San Diego with the LGBT Resource Center. We made 2 kinds of ceviches and a chia lemonde. Recipes coming soon!

Clean Eating Challenge: Summer Refresh For the month of June I teamed up with my friend, Jessica Alvarez to moderate a clean eating challenge group. We had 24 members partake in a 7 day clean eating challenge group. We tried to make the space a supportive space that challenged folks to take on a healthy practice for a week. It included daily activities, resources, and videos. It was a fun activity that definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone.

Cute recipe videos & design work I've been working on my editing skills making cute recipe videos. Check them out on facebook :D

Keep posted and look out for more. I have lots of cute plans for the next 6 months :D

Con amor,

Maribel
