S4 E8: Macka B
Macka B, the pioneering reggae artist, reflects on his early vegan journey over thirty years ago when few understood his commitment to a plant-based lifestyle. His visit to Serbia, where a waiter initially mistook his dietary choices for a sign of illness, highlights how attitudes have shifted as people now recognize the benefits of veganism. Macka B’s commitment extends to his children and grandchildren, all of whom follow a vegan lifestyle, and he believes leading by example is the most effective way to educate others.
