NARN is excited to partner with Hip Hop is Green to present a screening of The Invisible Vegan. This 90-minute independent documentary explores the problem of unhealthy dietary patterns in the African-American community, foregrounding the health and wellness possibilities enabled by plant-based vegan diets and lifestyle choices. The film begins with the personal story of Jasmine Leyva, a 30-year-old black actress and filmmaker currently based in Los Angeles. Over the past seven years, Leyva has committed herself to veganism, both in lifestyle and research.

We are thrilled to have Jasmine Leyva, who is also the film’s director, join us for the event. One of the film’s producers — Erica Taylor — will lead a Q&A with Jasmine Leyva and Keith Tucker of Hip Hop is Green. We will also provide snacks made by Chef Ariel.
