"Yo! Any vegetarians in the house?" ~Stic.man w/ crowd @ CBGB’s NYC
Since the age of 16, Stic.Man of the internationally acclaimed rap group Dead Prez, has been a vegetarian. Currently living a lifestyle as a vegan, Stic, in 2007 was nominated as one of PETA’s most Sexiest Vegetarians along with a group of other celebrities such as Carrie Underwood, Kevin Eubanks the bandleader of NBC’s "Tonight Show, as well as hip hop celebs, Andre 3000 (Outkast), Black Thought (The Roots), and Common.
This year, Stic has co-published an easy-read holistic healthy and tasty food guide for vegetarians called The Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy, a Vegan health guide and cookbook with a DVD, along with his long-time wife, author and co-publisher, Afya Ibomu, a Certified Holistic Health Counselor and the current CEO of her holistic lifestyle company, Nattral Unlimited, LLC (www.NATTRAL.com). An avid believer in the correlation between vegetarianism and self-healing, Afya became a passionate vegetarian after years of childhood ailments, prescribed medications and continuous health problems. From tips on buying food at a regular grocery store, to cooking delicious meat-less meals, to transitioning from a high carb, high meat diet to one that is Vegan, they hope that the guide will aid in inspiring people to live a healthy, natural, creative and SOULFUL culinary lifestyle.
