It's About DAMN Time

In this episode of It’s About Damn Time, I sit down with Marquita Henderson, who recently celebrated her first anniversary of going vegan, to explore her journey of self-discovery through a plant-based lifestyle.

We dive into how switching to a vegan diet has not only transformed her relationship with food but also improved her overall health and well-being.

We talk about the health implications of our family histories and how that pushed Marquita to rethink her diet. For her, going vegan was more than just changing what was on her plate—it was about taking control of her health, prioritizing self-care, and reconnecting with food in a more meaningful way.

Marquita shares some real talk about the obstacles she faced when going vegan, especially living in a small town where finding plant-based options isn't always easy.

Spoiler: Meal prep and time management were key!

We also get into the emotional side of the transition: how she navigated possible pushback from family and friends and what it means to stay committed to a lifestyle change, even when it’s tough.

Plus, we discuss the pros and cons of going vegan—everything from health benefits to the surprising challenges that many don’t consider.

Whether you’re curious about adopting a plant-based diet or just looking for some inspiration on how to make meaningful changes in your own life, this episode is packed with insight, practical tips, and a whole lot of heart.
