29 Latinx Vegan Instagrammers to Follow ASAP

Since 1988, September 15 to October 15 has marked the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, commemorating the history, cultures, and contributions of Americans with ancestry from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

Over the years, efforts to decolonize food systems and connect to indigenous, pre-colonial customs and traditions has resulted in millions of Latinx (re)turning to plant-based ways of eating, and many are taking to social media to share their journeys with the world. So we’ve put together a list of a few of our favorite Instagram accounts that are showcasing what veganism looks like through a Latinx lens. 

Whether you’re looking for low-waste living tips, veganized traditional dishes, or cruelty-free beauty inspo, you’ll find something to love on these 29 accounts run by Latinx vegans from all walks of life.
