From the Essence interview with Tracy McQuirter, MPH by Victoria Uwumarogie on May 16, 2023: Black women are the current face of veganism in this country. According to a 2016 Pew Research Center Study, African Americans are the fastest growing vegan and vegetarian demographic in the country, at 8% as compared to 3% of Americans overall. And it’s estimated that the majority are women. Black women are leading the way. That’s the latest research we have and it’s consistent with research that the Vegetarian Research Group has been doing for decades, which shows that African Americans have been twice as likely to be vegan than whites.
