Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.
I’m an African American Woman on the east coast taking the journey to wellness through Raw Vegan Eating. Live Food for Live people.
Update 4/13/10- I’m currently re-commited to my raw food journey back to raw veganism. I will be 80-90% raw. I hope to have lots of journal entries and videos for ya.

Where do I go to really find support and help for changing my eating habits and help with assistance and support of staying raw?

The short answer is online. There are many support groups/message boards out there with like minded people who can help walk with you. I would suggest http://www.rawfoodtalk.com Alissa Cohen’s board. They have really helped me. Also, take a look at the links I link to. I’ve found them very helpful.

Hi Sis:
Thank you for having me on your blogroll. I will do the same for you. Can you send me an email to mochaangels@aol.com? I didn’t know you were in the DC area. I’m in metro Baltimore. Your journey sounds a lot like mine.
hugs,
Althea

Greetings Sis: I am also a raw foodist, 70-80% and I eat some cooked food, hummus, chik patties , but all vegetarian. I am enjoying your blog. I have several raw food friends as well; for years. If u r trying to lose weight…u need to eat more& eat more frequently: and keep fat low…i.e: not too many avocados. I’ve lost 30 lbs in about 6 months… I eat every 2-3 hours; even if it is just a piece of fruit with water. If your body is always working; you are increase your metabolism and eating live foods that digest quickly; you’ll drop lbs like crazy!!! Good luck

African American Sustainability Project
One raw yumster, Eden, is currently working on a project about sustainability practices amongst African Americans and would LOVE to hear from y’all if you have some stories to share – here’s her message:
Dear Friends,
I am working on a magazine article query regarding the presence of sustainable lifestyle practices amongst African American individuals and families. I am hoping to connect with and interview African Americans who for whom any of the practices listed below are a significant part of their day to day life.
• Homesteading
• Homeschooling
• Gardening & Sprouting – (enough to provide all or at least 80% of the family’s produce needs.)
• Permaculture farming
• Hunting & Fishing
• Built their own home with their own hands
• Live off grid
• Raise own animals for food and wool
• Beekeeping
• Sell anything that they gain from the above to supplement or provide family income.
If you know of anyone, I would love to receive a reference or introduction from you. They can either contact me on facebook (Eden Fadzo Chuislekuda), email me or call me: edenganya@msn.com or 520-216-4144.

Jinji and Storm Talifiero have been doing raw/living foods forever and have a great process to support anyone at whatever level they are wherever they are called the 28/21 day…check it out. They have even raised all their children at raw vegans…
http://www.rawfoodsonabudget.com is another great one…
