I contribute to KQED Radio (San Francisco Bay Area’s National Public Radio Station) and was really grateful and proud to share this story about my mother and how her voice remains with me.
Telling my mother’s story, making sure she’s not forgotten…that is my Mother’s Day Gift to her, and I hope it helps others.

About Colleen
Hello, and welcome. I’m Colleen, aka The Joyful Vegan, and I’m here to give you the tools and resources you need to eat, cook, travel, and live compassionately and healthfully.
Donating = Loving
For over twenty years, my work and podcast have remained free (and ad-free) and vibrant thanks to support from listeners, followers, and readers. I have no staff, no interns, and no assistant. What you see (and hear and watch) is a one-woman labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood. If this labor has impacted your life in the past year (or the past decades), please consider aiding its sustenance by becoming a patron or by making a one-time donation. Your support makes all the difference.
