We are excited to announce that Miss DC, MacKenzie Ann Green, will be speaking at DC VegFest this year! A native Washingtonian, MacKenzie will share her story about how she transitioned to a plant-based diet in preparation for the Miss DC pageant and why she chose to stick with it after she won.

She’s taken it upon herself to champion health and fitness for less fortunate families in the region, and she’s a strong advocate for increasing the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables in lower-income neighborhoods.

Mark your calendar for the DC VegFest on Sept. 11, 2010 to hear our local celebrity discuss the importance of choosing heart-healthy and animal-friendly foods at every meal. Read more about MacKenzie Green and our other speakers.
