Andrea (she/her) is a through-and-through East-Ender of Tkaronto, and a first-generation daughter to parents from El Salvador. She’s always been crazy about refried beans (with photo evidence), and for the past thirteen years, crazy about hearty and savoury vegan meals. She runs a food blog about everything she eats and the vegan lifestyle she maintains, showcasing accessible and culturally diverse foods whilst maintaining an Intersectional lens. She holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies with a focus in Community and Culture, and is currently a Master’s candidate in Environmental Studies at York University researching food justice and food policy. Andrea has nonprofit experience in outreach, gardening, as well as working with unhoused folks in Mexico City. In her spare time, you can catch her taking photos of absolutely everything she eats, walking everywhere, as well as reading about how fungi will save the world.
