"I wanna be vegan just like you.
But where do I start and what do I do?"
You start by giving yourself a hand
for thinking of doing a thing this grand!
Then talk to someone
with whom you connect,
a vegan whose opinion
you fully respect.
If you don’t know a vegan,
then get online.
Read and watch what you can.
You’re gonna be fine!
Meet vegans in meetups.
Join a challenge or two.
There are vegans on social media,
much more than a few
who will happily guide you
through this awesome task.
If you find you have questions,
be bold and just ask.
Your journey has started.
Be excited. (You’re allowed!)
It’s a road worth traveling.
It’s a great choice. Be proud!
