Tranquility DeJure, April 9th, 2018. Hello there, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the

0:13.0

418th edition of Tranquility DeJure. Interviews with authors, activists, and artists around the globe. Today we're chatting

0:25.0

with Victoria Moran, who's been on the show a few times before, and she is the co-author

0:30.5

of the Main Street Vegan Academy cookbook. And last time, of course, we heard from her co-author, J.L.
