Chef Tonia Knows How To Make Magic In The Kitchen!

As usual, I am totally impressed with Tonia’s magic-making.  She has some serious kitchen skills when it comes to making delicious plant-based comfort food.  But her talents don’t stop there!  Tonia is a hairstylist and indie filmmaker from Michigan who has been doing vegan activism since 2018. She is grateful to represent the Midwest on the JaneUnchained News Network. And we love having her!  Tonia has a YouTube channel called Your Vegan Friend Tonia that you should definitely check out.  It is fresh and fun and filled with lots of delicious recipes, and other great videos about veganism and the vegan lifestyle.  From recipes to interviews, and visits to animal sanctuaries, you can find it all on Tonia’s YouTube channel.
