Jasmine and Kenny Leyva produced their own feature-length documentary, The InvisibleVegan is a film that chronicles Jasmine’s personal experience with plant-based eating.  The film also explains how plant-based eating is directly linked to African roots and how African-American eating habits have been debased by a chain of oppression stemming from slavery, economics, and modern agribusiness. They are currently in pre-production for a few projects. Jasmine and Carly talk about her career in film, how she became vegan, and how no matter how small the act we can all find a way to be activists.  Support the showThanks for listening to another episode.
