“When I was about 15, I started making my own choices about diet. I stopped eating dairy and I became a vegan because I was allergic to some things like cheese. (…) I was super sluggish and it affected my digestion. So I went into reading books learning how to heal myself. I did my first detox and learned to heal an ulcer by myself. My wellness practice grew from there.”1Robinson, B. 2020. How Soulbird India.Arie Is Helping Calm The Nation During These Turbulent Times. Forbes.
