10 Inspiring Muslim Vegans You Need to Follow
The limits of our social media can mean the limits of our world, at least online. We see in the world what we follow on social media. This is why crafting a realistic worldview inevitably depends on what type of news, accounts, journals, and blogs we follow and are exposed to.
Muslim vegans are on the rise, do amazing activism, eat great food, and are a population so diverse it will blow your mind. The single most crucial thing to do for our movement to expand is to connect with one another across the globe and to collectively liberate animals and ourselves from the same mechanisms of oppression and invisibility. So let’s dive right into it and get inspired by some of the many outstanding vegan Muslims who deserve everyone’s full attention and support.
