The Vegetarian Resource Group has been a great support in my journey, and I appreciate the work they do to encourage young people like me to stick with it. I love recreating meals I used to eat in plant-based versions, and as a Black vegetarian, I think it\u2019s important to share this part of myself. In our community, vegetarianism isn\u2019t always common, and I want to help break the stigma that it\u2019s boring or something not obtainable. It can be cool, fulfilling, and, if done right,\u00a0really affordable too.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">See Video:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv9895360629msonormal\" style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/c3sk_hFNZ0o?si=HgpWFKOnpcOI17Ew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/c3sk_hFNZ0o?si=HgpWFKOnpcOI17Ew<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv9895360629msonormal\" style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv9895360629msonormal\" style=\"line-height: 106%; margin: 0in 0in 8.0pt 0in;\">The deadline for the next Vegetarian Resource Group video contest is July 15, 2026.
