Welcome to the official website of Vegan Black Man!
Vegan Black Man (VBM) is the first dedicated health resource and global vegan community network for Black men, by Black men. The VBM alliance brings together Black men who are committed to living plant-based lifestyles. Uniting influencers, activists, and everyday brothas from all walks of life, regardless of religion, ideology, political views, sexual orientation, or geographical location. Under one shared identity, "We are Vegan Black Men. We stand in solidarity, avoiding division and confusion by embracing our common purpose to heal, congregate, and congratulate our fellow man.
Our mission is clear: Vegan Black Man is here to inspire every Black man across the globe to adopt a vegan lifestyle, unify, and uplift our families, communities, and humanity at large.
We are gathered here to help all black men to break free from the burdens of compromised health—like masked suffering, erectile dysfunction, organ failure, and untimely death—caused by the systemic neglect and toxic food systems designed to hold us back. We refuse to let the forces of a corrupt society replace us with machines or sabotage our potential. True liberation starts with revolutionizing our health and uniting economically and socially. We are reclaiming our sovereignty, refusing dependency on systems that don't serve us.
Health and unity are our foundation. Together, we stand as brothers, sharing knowledge, uplifting each other, and building a future of resilience and self-reliance. The time is right now!

Guided by the emblem of the flame-leaf, Black Men of the future are drawn to embody these ancient principles. Each Element is interconnected, woven together to offer strength and wisdom in every season—peace or conflict. Tap into the Element that resonates with your moment, and let it empower your path forward.
Water: When fasting, meditating, consuming fruits and vegetables, or gathering with like minds, flow with the stillness of Water.
Earth: When embracing plant-based nourishment, honoring all life, and grounding yourself in compassion, you embody Earth.
Fire: In pursuit of dreams with relentless focus and hard work, you wield the power of Fire.
To be a Vegan Black Man is to live by these Tenets, letting them saturate your being and define your legacy. As forces once silenced our great leaders; this logo, these Tenets, and this vision stand as a guiding light for all black men who carry them. Should one of us fall, the spirit endures through those who remain, preserving the message in its purest form, never to grift or deviate from its origins. A strong man may be silenced, but a powerful and branded legacy cannot be killed, and shall never die.
Engraved in these slabs are Elemental Tenets of being a Vegan Black Man. Our creed, our compass, our shield. For now, and forever more.
Nutrition/Compassion/Efficiency
Plant-based Vegan nutrition offers abundance through simplicity, aligning with the Earth’s natural balance, which is essential for all life. As Vegan Black men, we are called to teach about the abundance of plant foods, compassion for animals and empathy for people in a practical manner that benefits the vast majority. Challenging the destructive systems that harm our planet. serve as conscious stewards, spreading practical, empathetic knowledge of veganism to restore harmony and synchronicity to all life on Earth.
Hydration is neccessary for black men to connect with body and mind, supporting both detoxification and mental clarity. By embracing nature’s elements; water, sunlight, and electric hydrating foods, we align with our inner strength and purpose. Hydration helps release traumas and negativity and rejuvenates a life of gratitude, self-worth, and unity among us. When we dive fully deep in this journey, we unlock our collective power to heal ourselves and become primed to take on all life endeavors.
Diligence/Focus/Manifestation
The fire maintains reverence that the physical is life's greatest manifestation. The fire inside you drives you to transform your physical being and manifest your dreams and aspirations for life. For Black men, this fire thrives through hard work and dedication, as much as strength and resilience. Staying disciplined, avoiding procrastination and pitfalls, keeps your flame burning. All black men must embace the journey of physical fitness, words of affirmation, and mental strength, one day at a time.
Power/Love/Posterity
Black melanated men, the trendsetters of socierty, face a unique burden to uplift both our communities and the world. Many of us are lost, burdened by social and spiritual challenges, often heading toward regret and inner turmoil. True freedom requires conscious action—changing how we eat and treat each other. Now is the time to unite, pool our talents, and become a vanguard for self-improvement. Guiding our men, women, and children toward a brighter future.
On the left is my unripe 26-year-old self. I hid it well behind jokes and laughs, but my body was ready to give out any day due to my self-infliction from animal consumption and pharmaceutical drugs. I suffered from Obesity, hiatal hernia, IBS, critically high blood pressure (199/100), anxiety, migraines, sleep apnea, allergies, and "unexplained cardiac issues," as the doctor tells me after my second hypertensive crisis. Nexium pills kept me unaccountable, Blood pressure pills kept me sedated, and Xanax pills turned me into a numb zombie. I was one foot in the grave and feeling hopeless. I thought I was going to die young, and nobody could explain why. I was too mindless to make the connection on my own until I received an unexpected visit from a friend I hadn't seen in a while. He put me on the teachings of Dr. Sebi and alkalinity, and how if I fasted for 30 days, all of my health problems would go away, along with my excess weight. I was flabbergasted by the information I received, but as desperate as I was, I didn't hesitate to take action based on the newfound knowledge. 37 days after fasting, I became a new person, physically and mentally. I was truly born again. Out of all the so-called professionals and experts, who would have thought one of my brothas from another would be the one to pass the knowledge down to me so I could save myself? Endowed with gratitude for my new lease in life, I've decided to pay it forward and dedicate my existence on Earth to building the ultimate self-improvement and Unity resource for black men worldwide.

Update from my 90 days plant-based. The benefits have been so great I’ve considered following through into the new year. This journey started off rough, but I bought in, and it’s been so dope. the most exciting thing was the improvement in my blood pressure. In late October, my blood pressure was 142/88 I had a check-up today, and it’s 124/79! Eat right and move your body.. it actually works!

I was 204 pounds and 20% body fat in the first photo. In the second photo, I’m 165 pounds and 8% body fat. I reached this goal by eating a wide variety of plant-based foods and working out six days a week. Hope this motivates others to do the same. You can reach your fitness with some discipline and dedication and a healthy plant-based diet.

My vegan transition was a little different from most. I didn’t have a debilitating condition, I wasn’t tired of being overweight, I just came into a new overstanding of health. I realized how important sustainability, mobility, and confidence in our spirits are. We have more to give this world than our bodies. Looking good to feel good is important. And yet, that should never take away from developing other aspects of our lives. Continue to find and expand your balance kings, so many of the things we have been taught are lies. Find yourself in service to others and in the service that you bring to the Earth. The rest of these people aren’t like us; that’s a fact. Tap into that melanin and discover your fulfillment. We are the children of the Sun. ☀️💪🏾 Be safe my brothers!
