Vegan Traphouse specializes in worldwide catering and holistic services. It is co-owned by Eboni Washington, a teacher from Bronx, NY and Michele Simmons, a counselor from Washington, DC. The way that we prepare food is just as important as the food itself. Our food is soul food because it comes from our hearts. We specialize in vegan, soy, gluten and chemical free food, plant based skin and hair care products, and holistic youth development and behavior management strategies. Our goal is for Vegan Traphouse to be a catalyst for positive transformation through food, community activism, and culture. The Traphouse Vegan, Lifestyle Guide, is more than a cookbook.

And who better to teach us how to DIY our lives than the über-crafty editors of BUST, the quirky, raw, and real magazine “for women who have something to get off their chests”?

Too often, girls, measure themselves against these unrealistic images and find themselves lacking. But we can all break free from the cult of celebrity and start liking the face we see in the mirror once we understand that many of these images of beauty are all made up. In the spirit of Fast Food Nation, media-awareness activist Audrey Brashich delivers an in-depth, informative, and eye-opening look at the effect the media and pop culture has on young women's self images.
