More About Tabitha Brown<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Tabitha Brown literally and metaphorically satisfies the hunger of millions with her unique approach to vegan food and her wholesome, comedic personality.\u00a0 Whether it be a new recipe, acquiring some imparted wisdom, enjoying a laugh, or melting away to a soulful, soothing voice, Tabitha Brown is home base.\u00a0 The North Carolina-born actress, vegan lifestyle personality, mother and wife, has amassed over 3 million followers across platforms, 2 million of which were acquired in 40 days on TikTok, earning her the coined title of \u201cAmerica\u2019s mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s unique journey to veganism highlights the intersection of personal discovery, food and health.\u00a0 With a passion for acting, Brown traveled around the States to pursue her career.\u00a0 She landed notable theatrical features including \u201cAll Between Us,\u201d alongside Tiffany Haddish; NBC\u2019s hit comedy \u201cWill & Grace\u201d; and the ABC drama \u201cSwitched at Birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2016, Brown found herself falling ill with chronic neck and head pain for nineteen months.\u00a0 During this time, her daughter encouraged her to watch the Netflix documentary \u201cWhat the Health.\u201d The documentary inspired Brown to start a 30 day vegan challenge; 10 days in, her pain dissipated.\u00a0 She began sharing vegan recipes, her story and philosophical wisdom online, acting as no one but her true, authentic self.\u00a0 Through this process, she began to feel a glowing sense of true contentment, satisfaction and health.\u00a0 However, it was not solely the veganism that led to this new found happiness, but also her ability to be in her own skin, honest with herself, and doing something she truly loves.<\/p>\n

Although her innovative recipes encourage others to make delicious meals, audiences finish her videos with a new recipe for the soul, too.\u00a0 Since, Brown has led a vegan lifestyle, promoting the importance of physical, mental and emotional health to achieve fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Led by her passion for people to feel seen, heard and loved, Brown\u2019s communication and relationship with audiences can be largely attributed to her background in acting. Perhaps most notable about Brown is her ability to draw viewers in and feel welcome in her world – even if it is through a screen.\u00a0 Her delicious, creative, yet simple recipes, saut\u00e9ed with compassionate messages, and sprinkled with a pinch of humor, attract a large following that finds comfort in the \u2018auntie they never had.\u2019\u00a0 Though the term \u201cvegan\u201d often polarizes audiences, Brown reinvents the idea of veganism, demonstrating that it can be accessible, inclusive and accommodating for anyone.<\/p>\n

Brown has developed a role for herself, with her own script, direction and audience.\u00a0 An unconventional way to rise to stardom, Brown paved a path to achieve her dream of being in front of a camera without sacrificing \u2013 and, in fact embracing \u2013 who she is and the unique, wholesome qualities that make her Tabitha Brown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
