What this is
Not a diet. A return to the way we already ate.
Afro Indigenous foodways were plant-forward long before the word vegan existed. Here we recover those staples and rituals and place them back into ordinary weeknights — with reverence, and without shame.
Everything is taught in plain language, tested in a home kitchen, and paced so beginners can keep up.

In their words
“I came for recipes and stayed for the history. My kitchen finally feels like it belongs to my family again.”
“The cook-alongs changed how I eat. Nothing here is preachy — it is just warm, practical and rooted.”
“The herbal course gave me language for what my grandmother did without explanation. Worth every dollar.”
Questions
Before you join
Still unsure? Write to hello@afroindigenousvegan.com and we'll answer personally.
Do I need to be fully vegan to join?
No. Most members arrive somewhere in the middle. The practice is about adding ancestral plant foods back in, not policing what you remove.
What happens after I join?
You get immediate access to the archive for your tier, the current season's meal plans, and an invitation to the next live gathering.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Any time, from your member dashboard. Upgrades apply immediately and are prorated; cancellations keep your access until the end of the paid period.
Is the content beginner friendly?
Yes. Every recipe lists a simplified weeknight version, and every workshop is recorded so you can move at your own pace.
Do you ship anything physical?
Elder Circle members receive a signed seasonal cookbook. Everything else is digital, so it reaches you anywhere.
