Erykah Badu’s Ex Nutritionist, Afya Ibomu, Pimps Out Tofu
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 9th, 2009 in Authors, Business, Food & Drink, Recipes.
If you want to know how Erykah Badu got her vegan self on track to the best health, look no further than the cookbook written by her ex nutritionist, Afya Ibomu.
Afya worked with Badu in 2003, and now the lovely lady is a celebrity herself, with her recently published cookbook, The Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy.
It’s filled with all things soul food-sweet potato pie, buffalo wings, corn bread, collard greens, hearty cookies-veganized.
Afya’s mom switched her to a vegan diet as a child after she had so many illness like asthma and irritable bowel syndrome that weren’t responding to traditional medicines. An allergist suggested Afya’s diet might be contributing to her ailments, and the KRS-One song, “Beef,” also played a role in mom putting her foot down and saying, “No more meat Afya.”
Afya is the CEO of her holistic lifestyle company, Nattral Unlimited, LLC at www.NATTRAL.com. She lives with her husband, stic.man of the Dead Prez hip hop group, with their son, Itwela.
Girlie Girl and her army has one of Afya’s recipes, buffalo tofu wings, posted on her blog.
You can order a copy of the Vegan Soulfood Guide, which comes with a free DVD, “Pimp My Tofu,” at www.NATTRAL.com.

Why is there such an emphasis on EX-Nutritionist? As if there was some type of dispute between them? I guess it got me to read the article….
