Spotlight on Sol Sips: Black-Owned, Vegan and Community Conscious

What we put in our bodies is so important. Owner of Bushwick’s Vegan eatery, Sol Sips, knows the disparity between the price of healthy organic foods and your less healthy options, which cost less.  Francesca Chaney, a 22 year old woman, wanted to make wholesome foods more accessible in lower income neighborhoods where many immigrants and minorities reside.

Chaney currently has a GoFundMe for Sol Sips. If you too, want to help health and wellness be more accessible to Black and brown folks consider donating. –via Essence
