“I’ve been vegan for two years and vegetarian for 20 years. I used to be a dancer, and so health and vitality have always been important to me. I wouldn’t say it took any one big event, vegetarianism just always made sense to me. [What farmed animals] endure is just terrible. It’s horrible.”2Mickleborough, L. 2008. Erykah Badu. VegNews.

“Vegan food is soul food in its truest form. Soul food means to feed the soul. And, to me, your soul is your intent. If your intent is pure, you are pure.”2Mickleborough, L. 2008. Erykah Badu. VegNews. Available: https://vegnews.com/2008/10/erykah-badu [Accessed 17 March 2021].
