Vegetarian Star

Stic.man of the hip hop dual Dead Prez sat down with limitemagazine.com to talk about his music.

But as you know by now, any vegetarian or vegan celebrity has to throw some veggie bits in any interview they give and Stic.man gave a little background information on why he changed his diet and lifestyle habits.

“After seeing the negative effects of the drug game, the poor fast food diets in our lives and also training in martial arts. My wife is a holistic health counselor and author of the book Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy so I live it all day everyday. My son is 8 and vegan as well.”

Stic’s wife?

None other than Afya Ibomu, who served as Erykah Badu‘s nutritionist and diet counselor during her some of her tours.

Great musical career, good looks, good woman who knows how to cook vegan…

As Rod Stewart sings “Some guys have all the luck.”

Here it is! A blast from the 90s past and the song behind Afya Ibomu’s mother prompting her to switch her daughter to a vegetarian diet.

If you recall, Afya Ibomu was Erykah Badu’s nutritionist while on tour in 2003, and she has her own vegan soulfood cookbook  out now!

Some lyrics from KRS-One’s “Beef”:

Let us begin now with the cow
The way it gets to your plate and how
The cow doesn’t grow fast enough for man
So though his greed he makes a master plan
He has drugs to make the cow grow quicker
Through the stress, the cow get sicker
21 Different drugs are pumped
Into the cow in one big lump
Just before it dies, it cries in the slaughter full of germs and flies
Off with the head, they’ve packed it, drained it, and cart it
And there it is in your local supermarket
A corpse, neatly packed
And you wonder about heart attacks?

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.
