DESCRIPTION Hey Friends! This episode I’m chatting it up with Angela Yvonne, a vegan and pop culture connoisseur who turned those two loves into a brand called Vegan Pop Eats. On this episode we discuss her veganism journey, the entrepreneurial grind and why she won’t be stopped on the way to the top! Tune in and of course, tell a friend to tell a friend. GUEST BIO Angela’s love story with media began after graduating from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke with a double B.S. in Public Relations and Broadcasting. Her comfortability with media behind the scenes as a publicist pushed her to the front, gaining keen knowledge of all things Pop Culture. Four years ago, Angela participated in #veganuary, a month-long challenge for those looking to go vegan, and has been loving life on the green side ever since. After becoming a vegan, Angela merged her love for a holistic lifestyle and pop culture to create Vegan Pop Eats. Vegan Pop Eats is a brand for anyone who wants to live a plant-based/vegan lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed in the process. It educates, showcases the hottest vegan spaces & trends, and creates a community for people on their journey to veganism.

She is a product of private and public local school systems; and became an activist through words at an early age due to her contrasting experiences in those institutions.

She has a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Simmons University. She has performed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum where she opened for Grammy nominated artist Maimouna Youssef, the Museum of Fine Arts, the city of Quincy's first Pride celebration, and she was one of the local and national artists selected for the inPublic Festival  2021 (a showcase that occurred at the Downtown Crossing Amphitheater and Plaza in Boston).
