Nzinga Young is a content creator and nationally-recognized thought leader in the vegan movement. After being raised in a vegetarian home, Nzinga went vegan following her second Vipassan meditation retreat. She’s practiced insight meditation for five years and served as both volunteer and staff member at New York Insight. In 2019 she studied under MBSR founder Jon Kabat-Zinn as a Contemplative Justice Fellow.
The Brooklyn-based advocate has leveraged her platform to highlight veganism at numerous speaking engagements including New York VegFest, UK VegFest, The Animal Rights National Conference, and on Capitol Hill alongside Senator Corey Booker. Before becoming a voice in the vegan space, Nzinga served as a blogger for HuffPost for five years and was on staff at both Farm Sanctuary and Vegan Outreach – two of the largest vegan nonprofits in America.
