Dallas, Texas She/Her

Destiny DeJesús, originally from the Bronx, NY, ended up in Dallas, Texas in 2016 seeking more affordable living options amid the rising costs in her home city. It was in Texas that she discovered her calling in community organizing and embraced a vegan lifestyle. As the driving force behind "Eat Yo Destiny," she passionately advocates for budget-friendly vegan living, prioritizing food accessibility and empowering individuals with the knowledge to shop locally at grocers and convenience stores. Her platform serves as a guide, revealing vegan options within communities while tapping into local resources like pantries and community fridges. With her creative culinary skills, Destiny empowers others to create wholesome and nourishing meals with limited ingredients. As a community organizer, she creates inclusive spaces for BIPOC to share their experiences within the vegan movement and hosts events focused on food justice, plant-based living, and sustainability.
