Yo soy Ivonne, founder of VEGANX. Although I grew up eating mostly a plant-based diet, it wasn’t until I transitioned from being a life-long vegetarian to vegan that my love for cooking was truly ignited. I had no idea that jackfruit was even a thing, or that hibiscus flowers could also be used for tacos! I was mesmerized, and still am by all that can be made using solemnly what the earth provides us with. 

My goal with VEGANX is to show my community that adding more plant-based foods to their diet does not equal giving up our cultura or the dishes we grew up loving—and it’s also to share that cultura through food with others. Making VEGANX and inclusive space for everyone has always been a top priority for me. I never want to make anyone feel like I’m pushing veganism onto them or judging their lifestyles. I simply want to share a bit of mine with you (using food as a form of activism). 

VEGANX is small business building its way from the ground up; everything wonderful takes time. Hearing from you, your feedback, your stories, your journey, YOUR SUPPORT-it all keeps me going. It fuels me. I can’t thank you all enough for that. I want this space to feel like familia. What we are building together is beautiful, I can’t wait to continue to grow with you.
